TELL CONGRESS: The Supreme Court is on the precipice of gutting the Voting Rights Act. As Trump and MAGA officials continue to enact the most hyper-partisan gerrymandering plans in modern history, Congress must fight back and protect democratic elections. Sign the petition: Don’t let Trump rig the midterms - pass the Redistricting Reform Act now!

The far-right Supreme Court is poised to gut the Voting Rights Act.1 SCOTUS could issue a ruling before the midterms that would make it easier for Trump and his allies to rig the midterms with hyper-partisan gerrymandering and voter suppression.

At the behest of Trump, Texas and Missouri gerrymandered their already racist, anti-democratic House district maps to favor Republicans even more. Now, MAGA lawmakers in North Carolina and other Republican states are trying to redo their gerrymandered maps to further tip the scales for the GOP in 2026.2

Democrats have introduced the Redistricting Reform Act to undo Trump’s dangerous nationwide effort to rig the 2026 elections. Congress must act quickly to pass this legislation to save voting rights and free and fair elections.

The Redistricting Reform Act would block more Trump gerrymanders and create independent redistricting commissions for each state.3

“The democratic process can only work when everyone has the freedom to cast their ballot safely and securely,” said one of the lead sponsors of the legislation, Rep. John Larson. “Republican mid-decade redistricting efforts are diluting the voices of Black and Hispanic voters for partisan gain in a growing number of states.”4

As Trump tries to steal the midterms with an array of executive actions like trying to ban mail-in voting, trying to require proof of citizenship to register to vote, and casting doubt on widely used voting systems, Congress must take action. Redistricting reform is critical to stop one of the fronts of Trump’s quest to rig the 2026 elections.
