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."

While the US Supreme Court rolls back Voting Rights Act protections, the PA legislature could make protections stronger, for ALL PA communities.

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.
71% of Americans believe partisan #gerrymandering should not be allowed. 23 PA senators & 65 PA reps agree.
PA legislative leaders could protect PA from this chaos, but they'd rather bet that they'll be the ones drawing future district lines.

PA is on every short list of "top redistricting targets" as national entities look for ways to rig future district maps to gain control of Congress. Expect deep pocket national entities pouring money in PA House & Senate races in ways that hurt all PA.

"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.

SCOTUS Alabama decision opens door for more chaos:
-limits lower federal courts' role in policing gerrymandering
-requires evidence of intent in racial gerrymandering claims
-allows changes to election law while elections are occurring

@Fwd_Party CEO Lindsay Drath calls the national #gerrymandering battle "a slap fight to the bottom."
She also notes misuse of the word "fairness" in language promoting unfair maps.
But as she notes, there are still principled legislators & signs of hope.
