I'm the President of the NDRC. The midterm elections are in crisis, and we're fighting back. AMA about gerrymandering.
I’m John Bisognano, President of the NDRC and affiliates. Democracy defender. Map nerd. President Obama White House alum. Boston sports guy.
A year ago, President Trump stood on the White House lawn and said he was “entitled” to 5 more seats in Texas - kicking off a mid-decade gerrymandering crisis. Missouri, North Carolina, and Florida followed suit – passing even more extreme gerrymanders. And just a few weeks ago, the Supreme Court gutted the Voting Rights Act. Southern states immediately moved to redraw their maps and diminish Black voting power.
The NDRC and our affiliates are fighting back against the manipulation of maps and suppression of people's voices in our elections. AMA about redistricting/the great gerrymandering crisis.
