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.

Earlier this week, a Utah District Court struck down a gerrymandered map, giving power back to the people.
The decision in Utah affirmed what we already knew to be true: we must hold leaders accountable when they violate the will of the people and try to cement power through partisan gerrymandering.

At 2:00 a.m., Texas Republicans passed their racially gerrymandered congressional map.

At 8:00 a.m., we at the National Redistricting Foundation, with ELG sued Texas.

As everything moves at light speed, let this serve as a reminder that racial gerrymandering is illegal.

❌ Federal takeover of blue cities.
❌ Efforts to rewrite the history in our museums.
❌ An agenda to gut mail-in voting.
❌ A gerrymandering blitz that silences voters.

This is what we’re up against.

And we, the people, are the only thing standing between democracy and a nation of one-man rule.

Texas Republicans are running so scared of voters that they passed their Trump gerrymander in the dead of night.

Total cowardice from officials elected to represent the public.

It’s official! After passing the CA Assembly and CA Senate, California is putting redistricting on the ballot this November.

This now gives voters the power to counter Trump’s Texas gerrymander.

NEW: Gov. Gavin Newsom just signed California’s redistricting package, giving voters the power Donald Trump and Greg Abbott are trying to take away:

The power to choose their future.

Check his latest poll numbers. He knows it’s not going well. bit.ly/4oxIRNA

Trump's approval rating dips again in new Pew survey, hits 38%

The president's approval rating is down three points since June and nine points since shortly after his inauguration, when it stood at 47%.

Gerrymander the maps.
Gut mail-in voting.

It all adds up to the same thing: an all-out assault on fair representation. bit.ly/3HHnDMC

Trump says he will lead 'movement' to end mail-in voting

President Trump said on Monday that that he will lead a movement to get rid of mail-in ballots, claiming, without providing evidence, that it leads to voter fraud.

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.
