Scott Walker: Republicans must push back against Eric Holder's voter redistricting efforts
-- Fox News

Friend -- Scott Walker, former Governor of Wisconsin -- a state he made a mess of through map manipulation -- is now is trying to take his schemes nationwide.

In his new role as head of the National Republican Redistricting Trust, Scott Walker took to 'Fox & Friends' to spread misinformation about AG Holder and the campaign for fair maps. Fox News paraphrased his message: Republicans need to push back. But Walker is mistaken. Republicans don't need to push back against this campaign, instead, they should be -- and many are -- a part of it. When map manipulators handpick their voters, it's the people who lose -- that means progressives, conservatives, independents, Democrats and Republicans alike.

Here's the truth: Walker wants to rev up big donors who have a vested interest in holding on to gerrymandered majorities. Under gerrymandered maps, special interests win. Our grassroots-funded campaign MUST serve as a check to special interests desperate to keep their control of state capitols.

We expect Walker's donor network to rally to his call. We don't have to match them dollar for dollar, but we need to respond. We've set a $10,000 one day goal so that All On The Line can continue its grassroots campaign for fairness in the face of attacks from Fox News and Scott Walker. Can you chip in to help us hit our goal?

Scott Walker likes to peddle the myth that advocates for fair maps will use the courts to "sue until blue" -- he backed this claim by pointing to North Carolina, where the courts just ruled the General Assembly maps must be redrawn.

Here are the actual facts:
-- In 2018, one party maintained a majority of the seats in the NC state legislature, even though that party won a minority of the popular vote.
-- Just last month, North Carolina's General Assembly maps were deemed partisan gerrymanders by a unanimous panel of state court judges. This was only the most recent court decision this decade ruling that North Carolina legislators had drawn unlawful maps.
-- The role of the judicial branch is to say what the law means -- including determining when things are unconstitutional. And the North Carolina Constitution prohibits extreme partisan gerrymandering that harms voters.

Scott Walker continues to spread misinformation about redistricting because neither the facts nor the votes are on his side. But he does have deep-pocketed supporters desperate to hang on to a status quo where special interests and corporate lobbyists drive the agenda in state capitols.

We're committed to holding map manipulators like Scott Walker accountable -- because when the maps are fair, the folks who are elected can be held accountable by voters and not by special interests. Donate to help us reach our $10,000 one-day-goal so we can fight back against Walker's attacks.

As AG Holder has said, for nearly a decade the people of North Carolina were forced to vote on manipulated electoral maps that were drawn by Republicans to create a partisan advantage -- and it's time for this era of gerrymandering, in North Carolina and across the country, to come to an end.
