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 Question. Do districts have to be contiguous--all of the area is connected to the rest? If not, this is just criminal. Is this the rich trying desperately to hold onto power as the people become wiser to their corrupt ways? They are showing their true colors, or color.
