🚨🚨🚨🚨The GOP-controlled Kansas Senate just voted to override Gov. Laura Kelly’s veto of a gerrymandered congressional map, going against the will of Kansans by making a backdoor deal that sacrifices the health of Kansas children.

More below 🧵and ➡️ bit.ly/3uBDDqK Today, @kcstar's Ed Board reported that a KS Senate committee endorsed Sen. Mark Steffen’s plan expanding use of "unproven and potentially dangerous medicines for COVID-19, while loosening vaccine requirements for kids" in exchange for his veto override vote.

Competitive and fair elections are the bedrock of our democracy—they help ensure our electoral system isn't too extreme and polarized.

But Republicans in TX, OH, NC, and GA are passing new maps that eliminate competitive districts. Why does this matter? A thread🧵👇 Eliminating competition by gerrymandering safe seats allows extremists to avoid appealing to a broader electorate. On the flip side, extremists have a hard time winning elections when maps are fair & districts are competitive b/c they have to appeal to a more diverse electorate.

🧵In the last few days, we've seen headlines like this:

1️⃣“Redistricting is Going Surprisingly Well for Democrats”
2️⃣“Democrats Are Doing Weirdly Well in Redistricting”
3️⃣“Surprisingly, there has been a redistricting turnaround”

This isn’t surprising—and it isn’t by accident. Our team and so many others in this righteous fight for #FairMaps have been doing *really hard and grueling work* to ensure fair representation for every voter. Because we believe in democracy and that elections shouldn't be decided before a single ballot is even cast.

Seven years ago today, SCOTUS gutted the Voting Rights Act, the crown jewel of the civil rights movement, subjecting millions of voters to racial discrimination the VRA outlawed.

We dive into the devastating impact the Shelby County decision has had on our democracy. (Thread) The Voting Rights Act of 1965 has been widely regarded as the “crown jewel” of the civil rights movement. For over five decades, the landmark legislation was instrumental in protecting the right to vote, particularly for communities of color.
