We're Building On State-of-the-Art Mapping Capabilities In several states where litigation is pending – including North Carolina, Ohio, Texas, and others – it's possible that some new maps will need to be drawn before the 2024 elections. So to get ready, we're investing in new technologies, data, and mapping innovations. [PITCH IN TO HELP US KEEP IT UP]( 2. We're Working to Improve Redistricting Reforms In 2018 and 2020, we helped pass redistricting reforms that were instrumental in securing fair maps in states like Colorado and Michigan. Moving forward, we plan to build on these successes to help achieve bold redistricting reforms in even more states. [PITCH IN TO SUPPORT OUR WORK]( 3. We're Targeting Elections Key to Redistricting All over the country, the GOP is investing in state and local races, including important state court elections. That means we need to prepare for the long term by electing pro-democracy leaders. The good news is our work in 2018 and 2020 made a big difference for Democrats running for state-level offices. In states like Pennsylvania, Kansas, and Wisconsin, Democratic governors ended up vetoing manipulated maps. And in 2022, we're targeting races in 17 states that will have a big impact on the future of redistricting.
