We're a non-partisan coalition working to end #gerrymandering in #Pennsylvania. We want an independent #redistricting commission so voters can choose their politicians, instead of politicians choosing their voters. Learn more at https://fairdistrictspa.com
In 2018 Utahns exercised their right to alter & reform their government with a citizen initiative to ban partisan gerrymandering. Legislative leaders have been fighting back ever since. This week citizens won in court.

1 of 2: Multiple polls show voters dislike gerrymandering - no matter what party does it. No matter their reason.
That number is growing, especially among younger voters.
Maybe rigging maps to win is not an effective long-term strategy.

PA has always been a top target for outside money trying to capture control of Congress.

No. Most recognize it as cheating.
That's true in both parties, in all states, across the US. And increasingly true among younger voters.
Majorities think all gerrymandering should be illegal.
