Redistricting shapes the balance of power in our democracy. When district lines are drawn fairly, every community has the chance to be represented, and every vote carries equal weight. When lines are manipulated through gerrymandering, politicians choose their voters instead of voters choosing their leaders.
Fair maps ensure:
- Stronger representation — keeping communities together rather than splitting them apart.
- Accountability — elected officials must compete for and answer to the people they represent.
- Healthy democracy — elections reflect the will of the people, not partisan games.
At the end of the day, fair maps aren’t about one party winning or losing—they’re about making sure our democracy truly works for all of us.
