Trump is trying to rig maps mid-decade to benefit himself in the midterm election. But here’s the truth: even Republican voters don’t want it. It’s time to ban mid-decade redistricting for once and for all.

After Donald Trump started a mid-decade redistricting war, we created 6 fairness criteria to protect the voice of the people. That's why we are the nation's top redistricting organization, and why people like former President Barack Obama are following our lead.

Our poll shows more than 2/3 of Americans know it's bad for our country when a single party controls how voting districts are drawn, but that hasn't stopped Trump’s mid-decade redistricting power grab.

Politicians should not be able to manipulate district lines for their own gain. That’s why we support Senator Alex Padilla and Representative Zoe Lofgren’s re-introduction of the Redistricting Reform Act. It’s time to put power back where it belongs — with the people.
