ICYMI: Eric Holder in NYT Essay: “This Redistricting Chaos Must End”

Washington, D.C. — Today, Eric H. Holder, Jr., the 82nd Attorney General of the United States and Chairman of the National Democratic Redistricting Committee (NDRC), published a guest essay in The New York Times outlining a path forward to put an end to Donald Trump’s national gerrymandering crisis by enacting federal legislation to guard against gerrymandering and other forms of voter suppression as well as reform the rogue Supreme Court.

Below is an excerpt from Attorney General Holder’s essay. The full essay can be viewed here:

“Make no mistake: Republicans, with the aid of the court, are attacking the right to vote for all Americans, whose representatives in Congress will increasingly reflect the preferences of district line-drawers and their most partisan supporters. The next time Democrats take control of Congress and the White House, their top priority must be to rebuild and reimagine American democracy, creating a system that, more than ever before, reflects and is responsive to the will of the American people. That means banning partisan gerrymandering — and much more.”
