Friends,

Today the Supreme Court hears a case that could dramatically escalate gerrymandering across the country by removing existing protections.

Red states could massively gerrymander.

Blue states could retaliate.

It'd be the mutually assured destruction of your power as a voter.

The case is Moore v. Harper and it's a(nother) gerrymandering case from NC.

It's about whether state legislatures should have near total power to draw maps - no vetoes, no courts, no commissions could stop the majority party from rigging the whole map during redistricting.

For example, it could mean that our state Supreme Court would no longer be allowed to apply our state Constitution to state-level redistricting.

All of that could be washed away with a declaration that the state legislatures are all powerful when it comes to redistricting.

Make no mistake, the next chapter of our democracy is being written today.

The existing protections against gerrymandering are far too weak - in red AND blue states.

We should be strengthening them to guard us from politicians who use redistricting to minimize your voice.

For my part, I am absolutely going to make support for anti-gerrymandering reforms an early priority after I'm sworn in on January 3rd.

This is madness, and obvious corruption, and it must end.

And you should be deeply, deeply suspicious of any politician who is ok with it.

Sincerely,
Jeff
