Hi John – We just got out of a staff meeting, and I wanted to give you an inside look into the work the NDRC is doing to fight gerrymandering. So I took some notes to share with the team!
But before I go any further, can you make a donation of any amount right now to help us continue our work? Democracy is hanging in the balance, and we need all the help we can get to keep up the fight.

State Legislatures
➞ In Ohio, Republicans in the legislature have tried to run out the clock by submitting round after round of manipulated maps as primary elections draw closer.
➞ In Florida, Governor Ron DeSantis vetoed his own party’s maps because they weren’t gerrymandered enough… so lawmakers are likely to start over in a special session.
Litigation
➞ The U.S. Supreme Court continues to contradict itself. On the heels of a decision leaving the GOP’s manipulated maps in place in Alabama in part because it was too close to the election to change them, the Court reversed a Wisconsin Supreme Court decision implementing Governor Tony Evers’ maps in their state!
➞ Some Republicans are now promoting a dangerous fringe legal theory that holds only state legislatures have authority over congressional elections. It’s designed to bypass courts standing in the way of map manipulation – but luckily, it hasn’t succeeded (yet).
Campaigns
➞ Some states still haven’t finished their redistricting processes, so we’ll need to continue pushing for fair maps in those states. But we’re also looking ahead to what’s next!
➞ With the 2022 midterms approaching, we’re gearing up to support candidates around the country who will fight to end gerrymandering and protect the constitutional right to vote.
As you can see, there’s a lot going in the fight for fair maps. And believe me: Absolutely NONE of our work would be possible without support from people like you!
So John, can we count on you to pitch in any amount right now to help the NDRC keep up the fight? Anything you can give makes a huge difference!

Thanks, and more updates soon!
