Right now, state legislatures across the country are setting new boundaries for state legislative and congressional districts. And in many states, Republicans are drawing maps that allow them to hold onto power.
In Texas, for example, Republicans recently passed a law making voting harder, especially for people of color. Now they’re advancing a new congressional map that’s tilted in their favor and doesn’t reflect the state’s growth.

@BarackObama @50_yow I will say this, again. Voting needs to be a federal process. Before ANY state can make changes to it's voting laws, it MUST be approved by the federal government FIRST. Too many states have laws that favor one party/person, but not the entire electorate.
@EmmaJamesBrook1 @BarackObama It's clear the states can't handle the responsibility of being for all people. That's when the Fed needs to wrangle them, but first it needs to wrangle itself.
