My 'Bama Says: How manipulated maps created chaos in the House

Diane, for the first time in our nation's history, the U.S. House of Representatives is without a Speaker. Extreme Republicans are plunging our country into chaos – and gerrymandering lets them get away with it.

Gerrymandering lets politicians pick their voters, instead of the other way around. That means MAGA extremists like Matt Gaetz know they never have to worry about facing a real challenge when they run for reelection. Even if they:

❌ Side with violent insurrectionists by voting to overturn legitimate election results
❌ Vote for extreme abortion bans that a majority of voters don't want
❌ Push our country to the brink by threatening to default on our nation's debt or shut down the government
❌ Leave the government unable to function by ousting the Speaker of the House.

But here's the good news, Diane: By fighting for fairness across the country, we can secure a level playing field so we can send real representatives to Congress.

President Obama said recently, "Redistricting is no longer a once-a-decade event. The fight for fair maps is happening right now."

He's right: There are more than a dozen districts across the country that could be redrawn before the 2024 election – and that means our fight has never been more urgent.

We're counting on supporters like you to power our fight for fairness so we can end gerrymandering and strengthen our democracy. Will you pitch in now?
