BREAKING: Our new poll confirms that most Americans are demanding an END to politicians drawing their own voting maps. Tell Congress to act now >>

SIGN THE PETITION

John, Common Cause’s new poll makes it clear – Americans know our redistricting system is broken and are demanding bold reform: [1]

Over 2 out of every 3 American voters say it’s bad for the country when one party controls how voting maps are drawn.

More than 3 out of every 4 voters want independent citizen commissions – NOT self-serving politicians – to draw our voting maps.

And 2 out of every 3 voters – including a majority of Republicans and Independents – want Congress to take redistricting OUT of politicians’ hands nationwide by passing laws to ban gerrymandering and mid-decade redistricting.

Voters across the spectrum agree: gerrymandering has to end. [2] But Congress keeps turning its back on the people – stalling on reforms, enabling Trump’s mid-decade redistricting scheme, and letting state politicians run wild and rig maps to entrench their power.

This is a crisis for our democracy, but also an opportunity. We need to make it clear to the White House and Republicans in Congress that an overwhelming majority of Americans – including their own voters – are demanding fair maps now.

SIGN NOW: Stand with the majority of voters demanding Congress end gerrymandering. Sign the petition to Congress >>

Trump and his cronies set off a redistricting war where self-serving politicians win – and we all lose. Instead of defending their unpopular healthcare cuts and billionaire handouts at the ballot box, they’re trying to rig maps and lock in power before a single ballot is cast.

In response, Common Cause launched our fairness criteria so when states like California try to counter Trump’s scheme, they don’t have to undermine the long-term fight for fair maps to do so. [3]

And our poll shows that’s still what voters want: Nationally – and in key states like California, Florida, Illinois, New York and Texas – Americans overwhelmingly oppose Trump’s election-rigging scheme and are demanding independent, citizen-led redistricting. [4]

It’s simple: Americans recognize that politicians shouldn’t get to choose their voters.

When politicians have that power, they’re going to abuse it – costing us our right to fair representation, and our ability to truly hold lawmakers accountable on the issues we care about.

Most Americans – Republicans, Democrats, and Independents – are demanding solutions, but Congress keeps looking the other way. Let’s make them listen.

Sign the petition to Congress: Americans are united for fair redistricting – let’s make it the law of the land.

Thanks for all you do,

The team at Common Cause
