LFG VIRGINIA! Tonight, Virginians said YES to leveling the playing field ahead of the midterms and NO to Trump’s power grab. Now, we’ve got a real chance to save our democracy. Thank you, Virginia.

So much false equivalence in media on gerrymandering in Texas vs California & Virginia. California and Virginia maps approved by the voters. That's a huge difference not enough people pointing out

Billionaires like Peter Thiel want to gut Virginia’s redistricting amendment because the top 1% benefit most from Trump’s unchecked power. Less accountability for the White House = more tax breaks for the wealthy.

Gov. Abbott is whining because Democrats won’t back down in the redistricting fight he and Trump started. (Mind you, Gov. Newsom is giving voters the power to vote on their maps while Gov. Abbott is rigging them.)

Trump made the GOP playbook to win the midterms very clear: suppressing voters and dismantling democracy at all costs. From rigging maps to gutting voting access, everything is on the table.

Don’t forget that we are in this redistricting battle because the ideological Supreme Court held (5-4) that partisan gerrymandering cases couldn’t be heard in federal courts Remember: This was a SC that that was configured that way after Republicans stole a SC seat. No stolen seat=different result.
