Condemn Texas partisan gerrymandering undermining fair elections

The redistricting process currently underway in Texas sets a dangerous precedent for partisan gerrymandering that undermines fair representation and the integrity of our elections. By redrawing district maps mid-decade in a blatant attempt to gain more Republican Congressional seats, Texas Republicans are not only defying a core principle of our democracy but also opening the door for other states to engage in similarly egregious partisan power grabs. This flagrant abuse of the redistricting process for partisan gain cannot be allowed to stand. All state leaders have a duty to forcefully condemn this anti-democratic maneuver and make clear that such practices will not be tolerated. The health of our representative democracy depends on fair, non-partisan redistricting processes that respect the will of the people rather than manipulating district boundaries for political advantage. I urge you to speak out forcefully against this harmful precedent and uphold the sacred principles of electoral integrity and government accountability to the people.
