#SCOTUS opinion for #fairmaps cases is in: the Court rules that it may not address the issue of #gerrymandering (the issue is "non-justiciable"). But the Chief Justice does point out other avenues we have been pursuing to solve this scourge of democracy: the states, and Congress.

Michael Li 李之樸Verified account @mcpliA reminder in light of today that the fight against partisan gerrymandering always has been - and it remains even after today - a multi-front war. And SCOTUS aside, the fight on those other fronts is going well, really well.#fairmaps#ncpol https://twitter.com/mcpli/status/1141499576081367045 …1 reply 4 retweets 12 likesShow this thread -
Campaign Legal Center Retweeted Wendy Weiser
A super important reminder!

Wendy Weiser @WendyRWeiser1/#SCOTUS abdicated in the gerrymandering cases today, but keep in mind that voters can still solve the problem. In 2018 voters in 5 states adopted redistricting reforms by overwhelming majorities, & there are now active measures in 6 more. https://www.brennancenter.org/analysis/citizen-and-legislative-efforts-reform-redistricting-in-2019 …@brennancenterShow this thread2 replies 5 retweets 9 likesShow this thread
The #Fairmaps fight is far from over. We must redouble our efforts outside the courtroom to keep advancing efforts that put the voices of voters first.https://campaignlegal.org/cases-actions/movement-establish-citizen-led-redistricting-commissions-states …
