John – first we'll deliver the bad news, then we'll tell you what the fair redistricting movement is doing about it. If you already know you want to chip in, you can do so here.

Here’s what happened: First, Kansas Republicans openly gerrymandered their state's congressional map. One GOP senator even said "we can do better" admitting that they could have drawn districts in a more fair way, when instead their map would benefit Republicans. (Apparently Politico was right in reporting that the GOP was planning to engage in more ruthless gerrymandering.)

Then, Democratic Governor Laura Kelly correctly vetoed the map.

After that, Republicans were looking for enough legislative votes to override the veto. So they made a deal with a state senator:

You read that right – they chose to endanger children so they could advance their rigged map and override Gov. Kelly's veto.

If you're as outraged as we are, please chip in to help us fight GOP power-grabs in every state.

Now let's talk about how the fair redistricting community is responding:

1) Voters have already filed a lawsuit against Kansas' manipulated map
2) The NDRC continues to work to prevent more states from gerrymandering like Kansas did
3) And we will continue to defend FAIR maps from Republican attacks

The truth is, how much we can get done depends on you, John. Let's turn our anger into action: Pitch in now to help us hold Republicans accountable for rigging the maps across the country.
