My 'Bama Says: Don’t just take it from us

The GOP's Independent State Legislature theory is dangerous, Diane.

Don't just take it from us – take it from The Atlantic and President Obama.

The Atlantic: Is Democracy Constitutional? | If the Supreme Court upholds the independent-state-legislature theory, it will deprive the public of yet another means of defending itself. For the party that appointed the majority of the justices, that would be ideal.

President Obama: If adopted wholesale, this theory could eliminate the roles of governors, commissions, and state supreme courts in drawing fair congressional maps – and vetoing or invalidating gerrymandered maps when necessary. We have seen what happens when we limit access to the ballot and threaten fair elections in America. It's a dark road, and one we shouldn't travel down again.

But remember, the situation is FAR from hopeless.

With your support, we can help elect Democrats this November who will defend our democracy, no matter what the Supreme Court does.

Will you pitch in today?

Yes!

A.G. Holder: If the NDRC is successful in undoing manipulated maps, we will be able to achieve a system in which everyone's vote counts.

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.
