1 in 10 Americans now live in a different district than they did during the 2024 election & about 1/5 now live in a district where more than 1/4 of voters are new to the district compared with the last election
"There is no off-ramp other than reform."

"If this trend [of #gerrymandering] continues, it really brings into question whether or not elected officials are really representing their constituents anymore."

Missouri's redistricting battle has been the longest, most complex & confusing-all to yield 1 more GOP district.
Ballots are being printed while political opportunists spar for advantage.
It's time for maps drawn by & for the people, not the politicians.

Yesterday @ProbSolveCaucus introduced 4 bills to address #gerrymandering nationwide. Bills would limit mid-decade #redistricting, establish consistent mapping standards, create independent commissions & establish a uniform federal process for challenges. problemsolverscaucus.house.g…

FDPA Chair @CKuniholm spoke briefly at the State of the Union on Latino Health hosted in Harrisburg on 9/16 by @LatinoConnectPA.
One theme that emerged throughout the day: zip code should not determine our health, our education, or our representation.
An independent citizens commission to draw district boundaries. Clear standards. No mid-cycle #redistricting.
These are just bills at this stage, & just for congressional seats. But it's a start in the effort to curb #gerrymandering.

Today is National Constitution Day, and the National Constitution Center (@ConstitutionCtr) in #Philly is celebrating.
Check out the website's resources, including a virtual tour, videos, and a podcast about James Madison.

A Wisconsin case about #gerrymandering: "maps drawn to protect incumbents of both parties from real electoral competition."
"Not a single incumbent has lost a congressional race in more than a decade."
Wow.

Here's a thought for Missouri legisators:
Instead of trying so hard to rig the map, do the work you were elected to do & let the candidates make their case.
Voters -in all states, in all parties - are really really tired of #gerrymandering.

Do Republicans and Democrats ever stop to wonder why the number of Independents is rising so fast?
There's so much talk about strategies to win votes: opposing data centers, for instance. How about opposing #gerrymandering, which everyone hates?

At Feria del Barrio in #Philly today, dozens and dozens of folks signed our petition to end #gerrymandering in PA. Short folks, tall folks, all kinds. The doggies couldn't sign but they were very cute.
Sorry we didn't get to see @RepBurgos and @SenTartaglione.

#BerksLatinFest was the 60th tabling event since Memorial Day for Fair Districts PA volunteers & interns.
So many more people now understand what #gerrymandering is & so many are eager to help end it.
Thank you Spiderman, @LatinoConnection & others for your support!

The national redistricting war continues, with more & more confusion for voters.
This week the U.S. Supreme Court again rejected a new Missouri Congressional map backed by President Donald Trump.

Editorial
Do not sit this one out. Do not let a minuscule percentage of the most extreme voters decide for you, your school district, your community, state or country
Apathy and inaction are much more destructive than participating in the political process we hold dear

Less than 2 mos. till the election.
Do you know who's on your ballot?

Here's a page with reactions to #gerrymandering by people who know.
Example:
"Redistricting has become a race to the bottom, and over the last 12 months we've watched both parties speed it up. If we stay on this path, everyone loses; voters most of all."
