Diane,
The GOP knows that they are hemorrhaging voters because of their unpopular policies and divisive tactics. But instead of changing their message, they've adopted a different electoral strategy -- gerrymandering and voter suppression.
That's how Republicans have been able to win majorities in legislatures across the country even when they earn only a minority of votes. Republicans rode a wave of dark money back in 2010 so they could sweep control of state legislatures and control redistricting in 2011.
![Nearly one in five of us [...] live in a state in which one or both chambers of the legislature are controlled by the party that won fewer votes. [...] All of those people live in states where Democrats won more votes but Republicans hold the power.](https://action.democraticredistricting.com/page/-/NDRC-10NNN-Headline2-EG-V2_%281%29.png)
Right now, the GOP is spending millions of dollars to repeat their successful 2010 strategy. Their plan is to guarantee another decade of majorities in Congress and state legislatures so they can continue to obstruct progress -- even if they lose the presidency.
Diane, if the GOP takes control of state legislatures this fall, it would be devastating to a Biden-Harris administration. Republicans could block progress on issues like climate change, health care reform, and gun control at every turn, just like they did to President Obama.
We don't have to let this happen, but we can only stop it if we ALL step up and do our part. We can't hang back and wait for someone else to save our democracy for us -- it's up to each of us to take action.
We have less than two weeks left to go -- once November 3 rolls around, it will be too late. Will you chip in today to help us stop the GOP plan to manipulate our elections for another decade?

Since 2017, the NDRC has executed a comprehensive redistricting strategy that shifts the redistricting power, creating fair districts where Democrats can compete. Our victories have been made possible by our strong community of grassroots supporters. But 2020 will be our most important -- and toughest -- year yet. It's the last year before redistricting, which means it's our last chance to elect the Democrats we trust to fight for fair maps.
We know we send a lot of emails, but we think it's important to keep you updated with the latest information on Republican gerrymandering and voter suppression and how we're fighting back -- regardless of whether you choose to donate.
