We said it before and we’ll say it again: chaos and violence have no place in our democracy.

Congratulations to the Colorado voters, our friends at Citizens for Ethics, and our Board Chair Martha Tierney on this important victory.

It's the first day of our challenge to Florida's racial gerrymander. Shamelessness in Wisconsin. More proof of the need for reform in Ohio. Alabama legislators just can't take a hint. Newsom's opportunity in California. It's the Gerrymander Gazette! commoncause.org/democracy-wire…

GREAT NEWS: A federal court struck down Alabama’s gerrymandered maps AGAIN after extremist politicians ignored the Supreme Court’s ruling and drew another map in violation of the Voting Rights Act.
