Redistricting: New Maps Reinforce Need for Reform

Not only are states trying to make it harder to vote, they are also making it harder for voters to protect their rights in court. The combination of an assault on voting rights and the assault on the ability of state courts to protect the rights of voters is why we need federal democracy reforms like the For the People Act.
