{UAH} Republicans BUSTED in VA
Just moments ago, the U.S. Supreme Court issued a decision upholding fair districts in Virginia, in a suit supported by the National Redistricting Foundation, our 501(c)(3) affiliate.
The new, fair districts replaced 11 racially-gerrymandered districts that had been thrown out by the lower court. The new districts have already been used in Virginia's primary elections this month. Republicans had manipulated the old districts to pack African-American voters together and diminish their overall voting power, but that plan was struck down by the lower court, and today the Supreme Court left that decision in place.
This is a big win. It ensures that every Virginian has an equal voice in their government and that every vote counts. All On The Line is energized by today's victory for fairness, and is working hard to bring progress like this to every state -- with a grassroots movement of Americans who will stand up and fight for fair districts.
