🚨📲Ask me anything alert: Today at 12PM ET, NDRC President @johnbisognano.com is joining Reddit to answer your questions about voting rights, gerrymandering, and where our fight for fair maps goes from here after SCOTUS gutted the VRA. Join the conversation now: https://bit.ly/4dZSUaQ

Weeks after the Trump-appointed SCOTUS majority gave Republicans a green light to suppress voters across the South, Trump’s DOJ announced a slush fund for MAGA loyalists. A playbook that would make even the worst autocrats blush . . .

🚨Black leaders are sounding the alarm: the GOP’s attempt to wipe out minority representation in Congress could just be the beginning. Local representation may be next, with MAGA loyalists likely to influence everything from county commissions to school boards. https://politi.co/4dVrAul

Thirty-eight percent of South Carolina voters are people of color. But South Carolina Republicans are trying to pass a map that would demolish the only district where Black voters can elect their preferred candidate.

Working people are being crushed by the cost of living. Meanwhile, Trump and his MAGA loyalists are dreaming up new ballrooms and giant monuments to themselves — all on *our* dime. We need fair maps so we can build a democracy that works for the people, not the corrupt political elite.

Trump says it’s “not possible” for the federal government to fund a proper healthcare system. Meanwhile, he’s burning billions of our taxpayer dollars on a ballroom, a slushfund for insurrectionists, and wars that *he* started. Republicans could not be more out of touch if they tried.

Over the weekend, thousands took to the street to protest Republican efforts to silence Black voters. The American people are not rolling over and accepting MAGA’s power grab. We’re fighting back and we *will* win. https://bit.ly/4uTIEXo

BREAKING: The South Carolina House just passed a racial gerrymander that would wipe out the state's only majority-Black congressional district. MAGA loyalists are silencing Black voters with surgical precision — all to rig an outcome they know they can't achieve at the ballot box.

SCOTUS gutting the VRA, a sitting President demanding gerrymandered maps, a wave of state legislators following suit — the current redistricting landscape is not politics as usual. AG @ericholder.bsky.social lays out the urgency of this voting rights crisis: https://nyti.ms/4wIEWSk

“Regardless of which party controls the House next year, there will very likely be fewer members elected in genuinely close races.” Trump’s mid-decade gerrymandering & SCOTUS gutting the VRA will result in a political landscape defined by predetermined outcomes. https://politi.co/49IXQ1n

The GOP’s chief electoral strategy is clear: Instead of trying to win over American voters with better policy, they remain laser-focused on manipulating maps and suppressing the voice of the people in our elections.

Today’s Supreme Court election in Georgia is a consequential one. Jen Jordan and Miracle Rankin are the only candidates with a proven record of standing up for voters. Make a plan to vote before polls close at 7PM EST: https://bit.ly/4dkc2jF

NEW: In a NYT op-ed, AG @ericholder.bsky.social lays out why the current redistricting landscape is not politics as usual. It's time for a decisive response and, ultimately, a permanent ban on partisan gerrymandering. https://nyti.ms/4wIEWSk

Louisiana Republicans are actively trying to throw out hundreds of thousands of votes that have already been cast. All to enact a racial gerrymander. Today, the LA Senate voted to advance this effort by approving a new map that weakens Black representation. https://bit.ly/4wBoKlU

BREAKING: The Louisiana Senate just passed a new congressional gerrymander. On a party-line vote, Republicans are advancing a map that would dismantle one of the state’s two majority-Black districts. The LA House is expected to take up the map next week.

NEW: The same party throwing out ballots and defending racial gerrymanders is now launching a multi-million dollar “election integrity” operation for the midterms. The MAGA theatrics never end. Save some money and achieve actual election integrity by ending your partisan gerrymanders.

Republicans want a new Jim Crow era in American politics, but they’re not going to get the silence or complacency they’re hoping for. We refuse to hand future generations fewer rights than the ones we inherited.

SCOTUS paved the way for Republicans to diminish Black voting power across the South. If our courts have turned their backs on voters, it's more important than ever to elect leaders who will repair this damage by passing the John Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act.

Generations before us fought to build a nation where everyone is treated equally under the law. SCOTUS' decision to gut Section 2 of the VRA challenges part of that progress, but the fight for equal justice continues — and it’s one we can still win.

NEW: Republican leadership in Tennessee stripped Democrats of their committee seats after they protested a racial gerrymander that diminishes Black voting power. These MAGA loyalists want silence and complacency. That’s exactly why resistance matters now more than ever.

In the two weeks since SCOTUS gutted the VRA, Republicans have postponed primaries, thrown out thousands of ballots, and plunged states into electoral chaos — all to pass gerrymandered maps. The GOP has stopped pretending it's anything other than the party of voter suppression.

From Tennessee to Louisiana, the legacy of Jim Crow is on full display in the coordinated assault on Black voting power. They aren’t even trying to hide it. https://nyti.ms/49vZDXv

BREAKING: The Missouri Supreme Court sided with a map that weakens Black political power — issuing its decision within hours of oral argument. MAGA loyalists are using every lever they control, from legislatures to courts, to rig the system and lock voters out of fair representation.

MAGA Republicans cried about non-existent “rigged elections” for years. Now, they’re literally throwing out ballots and redrawing maps because they’re scared of voters rejecting them.

We’re old enough to remember when SCOTUS upheld Texas’ gerrymander and said three months was too close to a state’s primaries to change maps. Yesterday, the Court greenlit a redraw process in Alabama as citizens were *actively* voting.

Today, the Bureau of Labor Statistics reported that inflation climbed to 3.8% in April, while wage growth fell behind rising prices. But Republicans can’t be bothered to do a damn thing about it. They’re too busy gerrymandering maps that diminish our voting power.

@aoc.bsky.social is right. Virginia's Supreme Court didn’t overturn a map – it overruled the will of Virginia voters.

ICYMI: South Carolina could join the growing list of GOP states postponing elections and discarding ballots in a rush to pass gerrymandered maps. Because for Republicans, the only election policy that matters is the kind that keeps them in power.

BREAKING: SCOTUS just greenlit a racial gerrymander in Alabama — despite primary elections already being underway. These very same justices struck down this map just three years ago as a violation of the Voting Rights Act of 1965. The Roberts Court is taking us backwards.

Republicans aren't suppressing votes because they're strong. They're suppressing votes because they're scared of voters. It's been a brutal week for voting rights, but momentum does not lie. And it is not on their side.

It took four people to erase what 1.6 million Virginians decided at the ballot box. This is an affront to our founding principle of self-government. https://bit.ly/3PaPMj6

Inhumane immigration policies. A failing economy. Wars abroad. Leader @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social lays out all the reasons MAGA Republicans are doing everything in their power to avoid accountability this November.

Three justices appointed by a President after he lost the popular vote have decimated some of our most fundamental rights. From reproductive freedoms to voting rights, the Trump-appointed SCOTUS majority has set our country back decades.

Today’s ruling out of the Virginia Supreme Court – where justices narrowly ruled to block a voter-approved congressional map – proves why state supreme courts are so important. Every voter in Georgia should be paying attention to this ahead of their upcoming Supreme Court election.

States across the South are rewriting maps in back rooms with zero accountability. Virginia put it to a vote, the people won, and a court threw the map out. This is the future Republicans want for our nation. We cannot give it to them.

“Now that the people have spoken, it is hard to understand both the rationale of the Court-permitted process and the reasoning behind the Court’s opinion.” AG @ericholder.bsky.social breaks down the inconsistencies in today’s ruling from the VA Supreme Court: https://bit.ly/4excKLz

🚨Virginia's Supreme Court has overturned the state’s new voter-approved congressional map. The Court is wrong to take it upon itself to overrule the citizens of Virginia after they already voted. And the timing of this ruling speaks volumes. https://bit.ly/3P4Vpzh

Republicans are celebrating a wave of gerrymanders now, but come November they’re going to learn that you can’t rig your way out of a reckoning. Voters see their rights under attack — and they’re pissed.

When lines are deliberately redrawn to diminish Black voices, it’s not politics as usual. It’s Jim Crow 2.0.

BREAKING: South Carolina lawmakers have proposed a gerrymandered map that would make all 7 congressional districts majority white - suppressing the votes of thousands of Black South Carolinians.

There is a long history in this country of manipulating maps to suppress minority voters. Every map that Republicans have proposed or passed since Section 2 of the VRA was gutted draws from that dark legacy of silencing communities of color for political gain.

“Tennessee Republicans shamelessly and happily racing to diminish the voting power of Black citizens shows just how detrimental the Roberts Court’s decision to gut the Voting Rights Act is to our democracy.” AG @ericholder.bsky.social statement on TN’s new gerrymander: https://bit.ly/4wbGTWZ

JUST IN: Tennessee Republicans have approved a map designed to silence Black voters in Memphis — one of the largest majority-Black cities in the country. This is what systematically stripping political power from Black voters looks like.

🚨BREAKING: The Tennessee House just passed a racial gerrymander that eliminates the state’s only Black-majority district. The map is now up for a vote in the State Senate. This is nothing short of Jim Crow 2.0.

A city that once helped expand voting rights is now watching its voters be divided by partisan map-drawing. But Memphis knows how to put up a fight. We stand with every voter protesting and standing up to protect the Civil Rights legacy that this city helped forge.

Louisiana voters showed up, cast their ballots, and now their governor says those votes don't count. This is what the erosion of our voting rights looks like in real time. https://nyti.ms/4wbD9oF

Here’s the headline from Tennessee’s first day of its special session to redraw maps: voters are furious. GOP lawmakers should listen to their constituents. Not Donald Trump. https://bit.ly/3QT7R5O

MAGA logic: If the Constitution gets in the way, just challenge the Constitution!. That’s why Ron DeSantis is backing a legal claim that Florida’s Fair Districts Amendment is unconstitutional.

NEW: The leading plaintiff in the case that gutted Section 2 of the VRA was an election conspiracy theorist that was at the Capitol on J6. https://bit.ly/4tihsjM

BREAKING: Republicans in Tennessee just released their new partisan gerrymander, which divides Memphis into *three* different districts. MAGA lawmakers are trying to silence voters in a city that for decades has been a pillar for voting rights. The people will not let this go unchallenged.
