From Gemini:

While the Supreme Court ruled in 2019 that federal courts cannot strike down maps based on partisan bias, it acknowledged that Congress has the authority to regulate this area under the Constitution, including passing acts like the Freedom to Vote Act.


Whatever state you are in, start lobbying electeds and candidates to commit to end partisan gerrymandering. And that means Republicans too, however long you think the odds. As the national and global damage of the felon's criminal war on Iran escalates week-by-week, some will actually be looking for ways to break with the toxicity of the trumpublican party. Those who condemned the gerrymandering war need to commit to Do Something to end the insanity.
