Redistricting wars assume a world of left vs right, red vs blue, us vs them. The reality is our political landscape is much more nuanced. @pewresearch study takes a deep dive into America's "large, politically messy center."

Yesterday, the Problem Solvers Caucus met with redistricting experts from @CatoInstitute and @MIT to get their insight on how to best combat partisan maps.
Too many Americans feel like politicians are choosing their voters instead of voters choosing their representatives. Restoring trust in that process isn’t a Democratic or Republican issue — it’s an American one.

Fair Districts PA will be tabling at TEN local events this week, from Forest County to Philly. All could use a few more volunteers. All are fun opportunities to see PA & help build support for redistricting reform.

Partisan redistricting is a race to the bottom.
@RepJeffHurd and @RepCarbajal joined @CNN’s The Situation Room to discuss the bipartisan efforts of the Problem Solvers Caucus’ new working group on gerrymandering.
Competitive elections make for a healthier democracy and a more functional Congress.
"Constant #redistricting is a mockery of democracy, and we can no longer rely on laws to safeguard, or federal courts to defend, voters from politicians…That is why we urge the General Assembly to create an independent redistricting commission."

We're just getting started on our summer tabling season & already seeing more awareness than ever of the dangers of #gerrymandering. Most quickly agree politicians should have no say in drawing district lines.

"Congressional #gerrymandering is a circular firing squad."
This is just one of the many great metaphors to describe the stupidity of gerrymandering.
The public is clearly sick of it. When will the politicians listen?

A telling comment. PA politics is still a leader in the Race to the Bottom.
What would it take for our legislators to change this? Courage to buck the big funders? Boldness to vote one's conscience instead of just following the leader? Belief in the duty to represent voters?
@Fwd_Party Who is representing voters when legislators in both major parties- in most states- answer to leaders who control the legislative agenda, campaign funds & district lines?
If most voters feel unheard- there are reasons.

PA could validate our founders & be a beacon of hope against petty despots of all kinds. 🗽
Or we can refuse reform, double down on the leader-driven stranglehold, & join other once great states racing toward the bottom. 🤔
#Gerrymandering is only gonna get worse by 2028.
"For Americans fed up with partisan redistricting, there’s bad news on the horizon: The gerrymandering war is just heating up."
