I'm looking forward to speaking on this event about how the national redistricting landscape connects to Wisconsin, alongside an incredible panel—come join us!

59 years ago today, hundreds of Americans marched across the Edmund Pettus Bridge in Selma, Alabama to claim their fundamental right to vote. Today, the right to vote is under assault again. It’s time to pass the Freedom to Vote Act and the John Lewis Voting Rights Act.
Woohoo!! Now let LSC staff register voters, too! papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cf…

Popular support. Hard work. Great in state leadership. Understanding it’s long term work. Wisconsin finally has better maps. Proud as the head of @DemRedistrict to have played a role bringing fairness to Wisconsin. Other states: We ain’t done yet. nytimes.com/2024/02/19/us/…
PSA: Not all redistricting reforms are created equal. GOP lawmakers in WI have proposed legislation that would “reform” the redistricting process — but if you take a closer look — it’s a gerrymandering scheme to maximize illegitimate partisan advantages. bit.ly/3LP3mUm
Alabama has a new, fairer congressional map that gives Black voters an equal opportunity to elect a candidate of their choice. This is a historic win for voting rights and democracy, and it happened thanks to the hard work of Black voters, advocates, and organizations like…
In spite of the shameful intransigence of Alabama Republicans, justice has finally prevailed in the state. With this new, fairer map, and for the first time ever, black voters in Alabama could have two members of Congress representing their interests. nytimes.com/2023/10/05/us/…
BREAKING NEWS: 🏆ALABAMA HAS A FAIR MAP🏆 A federal three-judge panel just adopted a new, fair map—meaning Alabama will have two districts where Black voters can elect their preferred candidate. This is a victory for our democracy!!!!!
“In spite of the shameful intransigence of Alabama Republicans, justice has finally prevailed in the state. With this new, fairer map, and for the first time ever, Black voters in AL could have two members of Congress representing their interests at the same time.” -@EricHolder
Alabama has a new map, y’all!! 🎉 Such an incredibly important and historic moment. It’s about damn time.

Given the AL decision and lifting of Louisiana stay happened in June, characterizing an October hearing as too hasty feels rich… 🤔 But make no mistake, we're still confident Black Louisianans will see justice ahead of 2024 elections.

Wisconsin Republicans are making yet ANOTHER shameful attempt to try to hold onto unearned power. From threatening to impeach a state supreme court justice, to voting to remove the state's top elections official—now—they’re introducing a bad faith redistricting “reform” proposal.

Four years ago, I teamed up with @EricHolder to launch @allontheline. The goal was to take on gerrymandering and make democracy more representative. Since then, they’ve made incredible progress – including helping secure what is by some measures the fairest congressional map in…
Republicans in Alabama put forth a map that both defies the Supreme Court and minimizes the power of black voters. Arrogance combined with racial animus - too typical of the shameful history of that party in that state. We remain in the fight for fairness. apnews.com/article/3d7a5c…
Today's Supreme Court decision protects the right of Black voters in Alabama to make their voices heard — and hopefully, is a victory for Democracy everywhere. Now, we must restore the heart of the Voting Rights Act with our John R. Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act.
This is a victory for all Americans- and an important step toward equal voting power and representation for voters of color. All of the protections enshrined in the Voting Rights Act remain necessary and must remain robust. I am proud to have supported the voters in Alabama.

So so grateful to get to work with the most amazing legal team! Such an incredible victory for Alabama and for our democracy!! ⚖️🎉

Our democracy is stronger because of the work @EricHolder and the @DemRedistrict have done—and they’re not slowing down. Yesterday, they announced 13 new priority states in the fight for fair maps. huffpost.com/entry/democrat…
Senate Republicans in Ohio have advanced S.J.R. 2–a bill aimed at raising the threshold needed to pass citizen-led ballot measures from 50% to 60%. This is a blatant attempt to silence voters and make it harder for Ohioans to hold their leaders accountable.

Justice Alito now claims to be interested in the stability of our democracy. This is a strange way to show that.
If I were about 25 years younger, I would jump at the chance to work with @ruthgreenwood and @ProfNickStephan at @ElectionClinic . Ruth, Nick, and the team they have assembled is as unique as it is vital. I strongly urge any lawyer with an interest in election law to apply!
Come work with @ruthgreenwood and me! @ElectionClinic has been doing innovative election law litigation and advocacy for the last three years. This is a rare opportunity to join the ELC team.
BREAKING: Supreme Court has DENIED cert for the case alleging that the Washington State Voting Rights Act is unconstitutional. Huge victory for everyone relying on SVRAs to promote minroity representation! supremecourt.gov/orders/courtor…
This week ELC student Riva Yeo and clinical instructor Daniel Hessel joined the Callais v. Landry trial team to protect the rights of Black voters in Louisiana alongside @NAACP_LDF and @ACLU. They even caught the eclipse at a lunch break!
I fashion myself a top contender for the President of the LaRose hater club, so I've *truly* relished the schadenfreude after he lost 3 elections in 7 mths, but it's also infuriating to take stock of how much damage he's done to our democracy in service to his political ambitions
NEW: Ohio Secretary of State Frank LaRose (R) has lurched to the right, rigged maps and tried to undermine majority rule all in an attempt to advance his political career. But Ohio's democracy has paid the ultimate price, argues @KatyAShanahan. democracydocket.com/opinion/ohios-…
But most importantly if my friend hadn't kindly but firmly held me accountable to the plan b I'd suggested, I definitely wouldn't have ended up here. Hold your friends accountable, folks.
In two weeks I'll begin a new job as the first Wisconsin reporter at @VotebeatUS, a nonprofit newsroom digging into the mechanics of voting and elections. I'm looking forward to covering how elections work -- and how they can work a little better

NEW: @VP’s office announces that students in the federal work study program will now be able to get paid to register people to vote, and work as poll workers.
I signed fair maps for Wisconsin this week. But our work won't end there. If Wisconsinites send Democratic majorities to Madison, I promise you this: one of our first orders of business will be enacting a fair, independent, and nonpartisan redistricting system for Wisconsin.
The Alabama Supreme Court creating political turmoil for GOP candidates.
NEW: In response to AL Supreme Court IVF ruling, a Feb 23 NRSC memo “encourages Republican Senate candidates to clearly and concisely reject efforts by the government to restrict IVF.”
It’s official: Democracy Defender @GovEvers has signed Wisconsin’s new, fair state legislative maps into law 👏 This is a significant victory—marking the first time in a long time that Wisconsinites will not have some of the most gerrymandered maps in America.
Mass shootings are not a political issue. Men, Women and Children dying from mass shootings are not a political issue. Thoughts and prayers are not enough. America is a GREAT COUNTRY. Put the politics aside, work TOGETHER and pass laws to ensure we are no longer known as the land…
