A year ago, it seemed like a done deal that Republicans could gerrymander their way into guaranteed power. Just look at these headlines from redistricting experts Ari Berman and David Daley written last summer.
→ GOP Could Retake the House in 2022 Just by Gerrymandering Four Southern States
→ Republicans can win the next elections through gerrymandering alone
Fast forward to last week when the Supreme Court allowed a fair map to stand in North Carolina -- one of the four southern states that could have given the GOP an easy path to the House majority.
Like President Obama said, this movement is part of the reason why the House majority won't be determined just by the way the maps are drawn. Chip in to support this work.

While our movement did help stop a power grab, the fight isn't over. Ari Berman's latest piece on voting rights? It defined the new Republican strategy: "gerrymander, suppress, subvert."
The map manipulation will continue -- and so will the egregious voter suppression efforts. We'll be ready, but we could really use your support.
Will you make a donation to help us reach our goal of raising $25,000 by midnight?
