🗳️ The 2026 battle starts now—and it’s not just about polling places or mail ballots. “There are elements of our system that allow partisan manipulation… in the domains that control options voters have,” says Kevin Johnson of ERN. Read more 📰→ bit.ly/43qBgHW #Election2026

When 90% of congressional seats are uncompetitive, the problem isn’t who wins—it’s that voters no longer have real choices. A few extra seats in 2026 won’t save democracy if the system itself stays rigged. Read our op-ed on @ivn ➡️ ivn.us/posts/after-...

A few more seats for one side won’t save democracy. California’s Prop 50 may be understandable—but it’s still a warning. Gerrymandering is not the solution to gerrymandering. Read the full piece: theguardrail1.substack.com/p/fair-distr... #FairMaps #Democracy #Redistricting #ElectionReform

America’s Achilles’ heel: politicians control the rules of their own elections. No other democracy does this. It’s fueling the gerrymandering crisis—and risking collapse. Read about our solutions: 🔗 substack.com/home/post/p-... #redistricting #redistrictingwars #gerrymandering

Glenn Nye's op-ed in The Hill is spot on: elections shouldn’t be refereed by team members. 🇺🇸 The U.S. is the only democracy that elects top election officials by party. ERN shows how nonpartisan leaders can boost trust + fairness: bit.ly/424FUKJ thehill.com/opinion/camp...

Newsom and Trump threaten the foundations of democracy by doubling down on gerrymandering. Plus, ERN releases a statement in support of overseas elections. #democracy #independentredistricting mailchi.mp/6024f89d31e5...

In this op-ed, ERN discusses concrete steps to "stop the descent toward banana republic elections." Trump's dangerous election decree and the SAVE Act should be stopped in Washington, but they will still pressure Republican officials who run state elections. bit.ly/3EKv5Ff

"Crises averted" doesn't make headlines but explains why foreign aid is totally worthwhile, Brian Atwood, who serves on ERN's Advisory Council, notes. DOGE is now shutting down systems that helped the US prevent 20M famine deaths in Africa. That's pennywise but dollars-and-humanity-stupid.
