Jokes aside, after The New York Times reported that the 2021 redistricting progress resulted in the fairest maps in 40 years, we couldn’t simply celebrate. We knew we had to be prepared for another barrage of vicious attempts from the GOP to turn back the progress and tilt the playing field in their favor. And that’s exactly what they’re doing — so we need to fight back.
