Texas Republicans are launching a dangerous race to the bottom – and they’re daring every other state to follow.

Under pressure from Trump’s desperate team, Texas Governor Greg Abbott is trying to force the state to draw new voting maps.

Why? So vulnerable House Republicans – worried they might lose their seats after voting to pass Trump’s unpopular and destructive agenda – don’t have to face voters next year. [1]

These politicians are scared of a fair fight – and of having to defend their decisions to their constituents who they just ripped off to make billionaires richer. So instead of trying to convince voters, Trump, Abbott, and these cowardly members of Congress are trying to decide the outcome before a single ballot is cast.

This isn’t just a Texas problem – if they succeed here, we can expect Republicans in other states to follow suit, and now California Governor Gavin Newsom wants to retaliate by replacing his state’s fair maps with his own partisan power grab. [2]

This is precisely what Trump and Abbott want: to bait every other state into a gerrymandering free-for-all, where politicians pick their voters while the rest of us get no say. We can’t let that happen.

If you’re with us will you add your name now? Tell governors in all 50 states to hold the line against gerrymandering >>
