Qasim Rashid, Esq.May 12

In a conversation with Wajahat Ali, we break down one of the most urgent threats to our democracy right now: redistricting — the redrawing of congressional maps by Republicans in Virginia, South Carolina, Ohio, and Texas to suppress the vote and stay in power, while Democratic leadership stands by and does nothing.

Redistricting, Voter Suppression, and the Democrats Who Won't Fight Back

From Virginia to South Carolina to Ohio, the maps are being redrawn and the will of the people is being invalidated. Democrats need to fight like they mean it

@QasimRashid Republicans did not redraw maps in Virginia. Dems did and voters approved the changes. The Supreme Court of Virginia nullified the referendum results on a technicality. So the maps stay as they were from 2021, drawn by court-appointed special masters. It’s not at all the same situation as the other states where the GOP is currently gerrymandering. Still a worse result than if the court had not nullified the new Dem maps, but not GOP gerrymander
