Let me summarize what’s happening in the courts, John:
First, state supreme courts in states including Ohio, Pennsylvania, and North Carolina ruled against gerrymandering Republicans and for fair maps.
| CNN: “Good news from state judges on gerrymandering” |
|
|
But Republicans appealed to the U.S. Supreme Court in most of these states. SCOTUS’s decision in another case had just allowed Alabama’s congressional elections to proceed on manipulated maps, so we were very concerned.
Then we got some good news… sort of.
| Reuters: “U.S. Supreme Court rebuffs Republicans in electoral map disputes” |
|
|
The Supreme Court turned down the GOP – although some of the justices have hinted their support for an extreme legal argument that would undermine our federalist system of government. Plus, Republicans are now investing in stacking state supreme courts and are even talking about impeaching state judges who ruled against them.
So the fight continues. And that’s why I’m asking for your support today. Getting to this point has been a five-year battle, but we’re not done yet. Redistricting is a long and tough process, and if we don’t see it through to the end, Republicans will take advantage, plain and simple.
I know you’re not going to let that happen. Will you chip in today to help the NDRC keep building on our movement’s victories until we WIN the fight for fair redistricting?
