Before redistricting began, experts were convinced that the 2021-22 cycle would be a repeat of 2011, when Republicans manipulated the maps to disastrous effect:
The Guardian: “Republicans poised to rig the next election by gerrymandering electoral maps (July 2021)” -- “‘I'm very worried that we'll have several states, important states, with among the worst gerrymanders in American history,’ said... a law professor at Harvard, who closely studies redistricting.”
But now they're singing a different tune:
The Washington Post: “Surprisingly, there has been a redistricting turnaround” (December 2021); AP: “Democrats make surprising inroads in redistricting fight” (January 2022)
What changed? The fair redistricting movement – which folks like you helped support – made a difference.
“The fight isn't over yet.” — Barack Obama
So will you keep working alongside us to secure fair redistricting?

Last week, the Wisconsin Supreme Court sided with voters over map manipulators. After a decade of gerrymandered maps in Wisconsin, this decision is a big deal.

But Republicans are already trying to squash this fair map win -- today, they asked the U.S. Supreme Court to weigh in and potentially prevent these fair maps from being used for the midterm elections.

Good news: Republicans are losing in court because they broke the law. The slew of right-wing losses in states like Ohio, Pennsylvania, and North Carolina -- and now Wisconsin -- demonstrate that the era of Republicans simply choosing their own voters without consequences is coming to a close.

Bad news: Short term, the GOP is hoping the U.S. Supreme Court will overrule some of these state-level decisions. Long term, Republicans are now investing BIG into electing partisan, right-wing state judges who would uphold their future gerrymandered maps.

We need to continue investing in this grassroots movement for fair maps now. Can we count on your support?

Sula – the past six months of working for fair redistricting have been both exhilarating and challenging.

Exhilarating because we've helped prevent gerrymandered maps in states like Colorado, Oregon, Minnesota, Pennsylvania, and more. Challenging because Republicans continue to use every possible tactic to gerrymander – and they're becoming more ruthless.

We're now transitioning into a new phase of redistricting. Most states have adopted maps, but that doesn't mean the fight is over: With our affiliates, the NDRC continues to defend fair maps and support voters in lawsuits against manipulated maps, hold Republicans accountable for gerrymandering, and, with the 2022 elections coming up, support candidates who will defend fair redistricting.

This new phase is just as important as the last one, and we can't risk losing momentum. So we have to ask: How committed are you to seeing redistricting through to the end?

  • Very committed
  • Somewhat committed
  • Not committed

Update for you, Sula:

NDRC tweet: Republicans in states like North Carolina, Texas, and Ohio have been brazen in their gerrymandering. But across the country, voters are rising up and fighting back! Here are just a few examples // NDRC tweet: They’ve filed lawsuits to undo gerrymandered maps in at least five states, the U.S. Department of Justice sued Texas over its manipulated maps, and, most recently, the Ohio Supreme Court STRUCK DOWN the GOP’s rigged state House and Senate maps!

That’s not all! In North Carolina and Pennsylvania, two of the most gerrymandered states 10 years ago, courts have approved fair, competitive congressional maps!

Keep the movement for fair maps going strong

So what’s next? As President Obama told us, the struggle for fair redistricting is far from over – especially with ongoing lawsuits and the 2022 elections coming up. So we’re depending on you to help us keep working in the states, supporting voters in court, and holding Republican map manipulators accountable.

Will you pitch in now?

AOTL President Kelly Burton hit it right on the head when she said: “The reason the Republicans are losing in court is because they broke the law.” Nothing more, nothing less.

A new Associated Press report shows Republicans aren’t taking the losses well:

“As maps fall, GOP tries to neutralize state supreme courts”

According to a recent report by The Hill, a new GOP strategy to spend big on state supreme court races that could impact future redistricting cases comes after judges in states like Ohio, Pennsylvania, and North Carolina overturned or blocked their gerrymandered maps.

“Thanks to Governor Tony Evers and the People’s Maps Commission, the people actually had a chance to be heard during this redistricting process."

Republicans aren’t willing to stop drawing illegal maps, so they’re trying to hand-pick state judges that will uphold their unfair maps.

HELP US ADVOCATE FOR FAIR MAPS →

Sula -- Just 48 hours ago, Wisconsinites were on track to have their next round of elections held on some of the most extreme, right-wing gerrymandered maps in the country.

But on Thursday, the Wisconsin Supreme Court showed voters they’re on their side by adopting the fairest maps in front of them -- those proposed by the state’s governor, Tony Evers.

“Thanks to Governor Tony Evers and the People’s Maps Commission, the people actually had a chance to be heard during this redistricting process.” HELP US ADVOCATE FOR FAIR MAPS →

We’re committed to helping voters challenge gerrymandered maps and defend fair maps in court. We’re also mobilizing supporters to help end gerrymandering once and for all.

We need your help. Will you make a donation to help us raise $30,000 this weekend? And if you make a contribution of at least $50, we’ll add your name to the list of committed fair maps defenders that we plan to discuss with A.G. Holder!

Yet again, a Democratic governor has shown their commitment to fair redistricting. And yet again, our movement was with them every step of the way.

The good news is -- Republicans are losing in court because they broke the law. The slew of right-wing losses in states like Ohio, Pennsylvania, and North Carolina -- and now Wisconsin -- demonstrate that the era of Republicans simply choosing their own voters without consequences is coming to a close.

The bad news is -- Republicans are now investing BIG into electing partisan, right-wing state judges who would uphold their future gerrymandered maps.

We need to continue investing in this grassroots movement for fair maps now. Can we count on your support?

We appreciate your commitment,
