Texas’ new maps – drawn by the state’s Republican-led legislature – are heinously gerrymandered. If enacted, these maps would silence Latinx, Black, and AAPI communities – that’s why voting rights groups like Common Cause are suing to overturn Texas’ gerrymandered maps.
Texas is hardly alone: This year, lawmakers in Georgia, North Carolina, Ohio, Illinois, and many other states have proposed outrageously gerrymandered maps.
