.... To Combat GOP Election Rigging
The Obama backed, and Eric Holder chaired, National Democratic Redistricting Committee has raised $10.8 million in six months in their effort to combat Republican election rigging through gerrymandering.
Democrats are hoping that the group will be able to coordinate efforts between activists and interest groups in prioritized state legislative and governor’s races for the next round of redistricting after the 2020 census,
as well as being the home of legal challenges on the state level and at the Supreme Court.
That’s an enormous array of ambitious activities, in which they’ll be going up against well-funded interests across the country.
In most states, it is expected to be a major uphill battle to change the balance of power that could change the maps.

This project will be stillborn if the SCOTUS rules that PARTISAN gerrymandering is legal, with the usual oligarchy 5 beating progressive 4.
And of course, $10M is NOTHING compared to the $Bs that the Kock Bros network and billionaire oligarchy was spend on maintaining and expanding extreme Repug partisan gerrymandering AND voter suppression.
