Republicans can’t win on their policies, so they are trying to dodge accountability by rewriting the rules. These lawmakers are going out of their way to silence the will of the people and deliberately undermine our democracy.

The White House is continuing to pressure more states to gerrymander their congressional maps because they are afraid of voters holding them accountable for their unpopular policies.

In Missouri, Republican legislators passed a gerrymander that now puts Missouri among some of the most egregiously gerrymandered states in the country.

Now, Missourians across the state are standing together for a citizen veto of the new maps.

🚨BREAKING: Our affiliate @redistrictfdn.bsky.social is taking action to stop Texas’s mid-decade gerrymander.

Today, plaintiffs supported by the NRF filed a preliminary injunction to block TX’s new congressional map that further dilutes the voices of Black and Latino voters.

Trump tried to pressure Georgia officials in 2020 to “find” him 11,780 votes.

Now he’s pressuring Texas Republicans to “find” him five congressional seats.

The difference?

In Georgia, officials stood up to him.

In Texas, Republicans are falling in line.

Our democracy is on the line.

Anti-democracy extremists in Texas are trying to gerrymander their way to more power.

If they succeed, they’ll redraw maps anywhere they can to stack the deck in their favor.

That’s why it’s absolutely critical that we give this fight everything we’ve got.

Racially polarized voting and discrimination are still a reality in Texas.

The maps proposed by the Texas legislature would make this problem significantly worse.

It’s a sham. It’s disgraceful. And it’s on us to stop it from becoming law. bit.ly/4mhrLla

NEW: The TX legislature has released a new proposed map—and it is a racially discriminatory, brazen power grab.

The map further dilutes the voting power of communities of color.

It’s an insult to all Texans who have demonstrated opposition to Trump’s order to draw a mid-decade gerrymander.
