John – Here at the NDRC, we’ve seen our fair share of Supreme Court decisions, good and bad. But we were baffled when the Court’s conservative majority ignored its own precedent to reject the Wisconsin Supreme Court’s reasoning for adopting fairer maps.
Salon:
“Sotomayor torches ‘unprecedented’ Supreme Court ruling that could gut protections for Black voters”
This decision follows another recent decision that allowed Republican-drawn maps in Alabama to stay in place, reasoning that it was too close to the election to change them. Yet that concern apparently did not apply in Wisconsin, where primary elections are also coming up soon!
The unfortunate reality is that the conservative majority on the Supreme Court is as hostile to voting rights as ever. And that makes our multi-pronged strategy to fight gerrymandering and protect voting rights even more important.
We can’t rely on the courts alone to save our democracy. We also need to hold Republicans accountable for manipulating the maps and suppressing the vote, replacing them with Democrats who value voting and democracy, and who will prioritize fairness in redistricting.
We’re working to shine a light on gerrymandering and voter suppression wherever it occurs and support champions for fair maps and voting rights, but we can’t do it without your support. Pitch in now to help us continue these critical efforts:
