Help protect fair redistricting »
John -- Republicans are setting their sights on a radical legal theory that could disrupt our entire system of democracy.
This theory interprets a clause in the U.S. Constitution to give state legislatures total control over holding federal elections -- that could mean state supreme courts, redistricting commissions, and governors would be powerless to enact, overturn, or veto gerrymandered maps.
A.G. Holder said, “Republicans are making it quite clear that they will do whatever it takes -- even if it means eroding our federalist system as we know it -- to circumvent the will of the people so they can lock in their own power.”
Many fair maps wins during this redistricting cycle relied on the balance of governors and the impartiality of state supreme courts to stop the worst abuses by Republican-controlled state legislatures.
