As Republicans continue to “aggressively” gerrymander, election experts confirmed they expect to see a decline in competitive elections.

The fight for fair maps isn’t over yet -- almost a dozen states have not yet finalized their congressional district lines and voters in states like Ohio and North Carolina forced redraws of gerrymandered maps. Help secure more fair map wins by supporting All On The Line.

Brennan Center for Justice: “Competition is one of the big victims of this round of redistricting.”

Washington Post: “Many state legislatures are approving maps that eliminate competition in favor of more solidly Republican or Democratic districts.”

New York Times: “The number of competitive congressional districts is on track to dive near -- and possibly below -- the lowest level in at least three decades… fewer than 40 seats out of 435.”

Competitive districts are the foundation of our democracy. They ensure neither party becomes too extreme or polarized. We cannot allow this trend of eliminating swing districts to go unchecked.

That’s why voters are holding map drawers accountable by challenging partisan gerrymandered maps in court. And so far, voters in Ohio and North Carolina have won -- sending map drawers back to the drawing board!

With two of our target states in the midst of a redraw, we’re asking for the support of our grassroots donors. Can you chip in $15 today?
