How To Avoid Another Redistricting Nightmare In 2030This article by Harley Jungwirth is published by FairVote. Here is an excerpt:

This timely conversation comes as a wave of partisan gerrymandering has swept the nation, leaving districts uncompetitive, incumbents unchallenged, and voters’ voices diminished. During this conversation, our all-star panel broke down many of the issues encountered during the 2020 redistricting cycle, as well as how to remedy them moving forward

Even though this topic could lead to hours (or days!) of conversation, our panelists were first asked to describe their feelings on the 2020 redistricting process in a Twitter-friendly, 280-character summary.

Kathay Feng responded with her proposed tweet: “In 2021-2022, American politicians gave Putin a run for his money as they pushed redistricting totalitarianism to rig election lines that solidified their partisan, racial, and personal control over elections. It’s time to #EndGerrymandering with #FairMapsForWeThePeople.”
