NEW: We broke down the threat of gerrymandering in all 50 states.
The bad news? 35 states (!) are at an extreme or high risk of gerrymandering - & district lines will be redrawn later this year. 🚨
We must stop federal gerrymandering by passing the #ForthePeopleAct.

Some of our alarming findings:
🚨35 states are at an extreme or high risk for gerrymandering
🚨Only a handful of states currently prevent politicians from rigging their districts
🚨If we don’t change this now, voters in 70% of states will live with the threat of rigged maps

The #Census results are nearly here—and politicians are preparing to redraw voting maps so they can pick their voters, instead of the other way around.
This blatant manipulation is called gerrymandering, and we need the #ForThePeopleAct to make it illegal before it’s too late.

If you care about democracy, you pass election security funding, limit the power of money in politics, and make it easier for people to exercise their right to vote.
You do not ban handing out water to voters standing in line.

UPDATE: The Georgia House just passed the #SB202 voter suppression bill.
There’s still time to stop it from passing the Georgia Senate and reaching the governor’s desk.
Sign on to #ProtectOurPower: more.vote/ProtectOurPower
Georgia votes TODAY on the #SB202 bill targeting Black voters:
🛑 Voter ID laws that hit Black voters hardest
🛑 Eliminating Souls to the Polls events in runoffs
🛑 Eliminating weekend voting in runoffs - when Black folks are more likely to vote
🛑 Restricting drop boxes

"It is incorrect to say, tweet, or report that #SB202 expands early voting. SB202 *eliminates* two weeks of early voting and *bans* weekend voting and Souls to the Polls for runoff elections." - @fairfightaction

Voter ID laws make it harder for hundreds of thousands of poor Americans to vote. They place a serious burden on a core constitutional right that should be universally available to every American citizen. #BlackVotersMatter
