Fix Our Senate Spokesperson Eli Zupnick: “Time is running out to prevent this egregious anti-democratic power-grab — Senate Democrats must move quickly to eliminate the filibuster and to pass the Freedom to Vote Act in order to stop it.”
WASHINGTON, DC — Yesterday, Texas state lawmakers released their latest redistricting plan, following Ohio, Indiana, and Nebraska Republicans’ release of maps that would disproportionately favor their own party, with many more Republican-led states on the way. Fix Our Senate is calling on Senate Democrats to eliminate the filibuster to pass the Freedom to Vote Act, a bill that would take critical steps to stop partisan gerrymandering.
Fix Our Senate Spokesperson Eli Zupnick made the following statement:
“These newly-released district maps are the latest reminder that Republican state legislators are intent on gerrymandering their way to a House majority and are counting on DC Republicans to block any attempt to stop them. Time is running out to prevent this egregious anti-democratic power-grab — Senate Democrats must move quickly to eliminate the filibuster and to pass the Freedom to Vote Act in order to stop it.”
