Common Cause gegen Rucho<\/h2>\r\nIn 2016, Common Cause filed a lawsuit in response to congressional districts drawn by the North Carolina legislature, calling the map a partisan gerrymander that violated the U.S. Constitution.\r\n\r\nPartisan gerrymandering, or the act of creating electoral districts that favor one party over another, silences voters and robs them of the ability to elect the candidates of their choice.\r\n\r\nAlthough the U.S. Supreme Court ultimately ruled in 2019 that partisan gerrymanders cannot be challenged in federal court, Common Cause's extensive work using the case to educate the public resulted in unprecedented nationwide attention on the need for redistricting reform.\r\n\r\nIn the wake of the decision, Common Cause is turning its attention to winning reforms in the states."}},{"acf_fc_layout":"layout_video","_acfe_flexible_toggle":null,"component_video":{"video":"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=KoCKsSX-A38","caption":""}},{"acf_fc_layout":"layout_wysiwyg","_acfe_flexible_toggle":null,"component_wysiwyg":{"content":"

Warum ist dieser Kampf wichtig?<\/h3>\r\nAs long as partisan politicians and party insiders have the ability to draw districts with no restrictions behind closed doors, they will use it to their own advantage. That is why the only guaranteed, permanent solution to gerrymandering is to loosen the stranglehold that self-interested lawmakers have on the process.\r\n\r\nCommon Cause has committed to multiple state-level fights to pass impartial redistricting reforms\u2014like independent citizens\u2019 commissions guided by partisan balance, clear nonpartisan standards, and transparency\u2014to ensure that every vote counts and every voter is fairly represented.\r\n

Wie geht es jetzt weiter?<\/h3>\r\nThere is no one-size-fits-all solution to end gerrymandering. We are fighting to overturn unfair maps in state courts, as well as working on anti-gerrymandering ballot initiatives and legislative proposals in states across the country.\r\n\r\nBut we cannot win this fight in one fell swoop. We will need to put in the work, state by state and map by map. That is why Common Cause is prepared to fight for the long haul and do whatever it takes to make sure the people\u2014not partisan political insiders\u2014call the shots in our democracy.\r\n\r\nLesen Sie die Stellungnahme<\/a> Lesen Sie unsere Erkl\u00e4rung<\/a> Lesen Sie unser Fact Sheet<\/a>"}},{"acf_fc_layout":"layout_add_component","_acfe_flexible_toggle":null,"component_add_component":null},{"acf_fc_layout":"layout_take_action","_acfe_flexible_toggle":null,"component_take_action":{"heading":"","button_text":"","manually_curate":false,"action":null}},{"acf_fc_layout":"layout_banner","_acfe_flexible_toggle":null,"component_banner":{"use_donate_banner":true,"title":"Title [highlight]with highlighting[\/highlight] and additional text.","button":null,"image":null}},{"acf_fc_layout":"layout_related_articles","_acfe_flexible_toggle":null,"component_related_articles":{"heading":"Updates","button_text":"See all Related Articles","manually_curate":false,"articles":null}},{"acf_fc_layout":"layout_resources","_acfe_flexible_toggle":null,"component_resources":{"heading":"Related Resources","button_text":"See all Related Resources","manually_curate":false,"resource":null}},{"acf_fc_layout":"layout_press","_acfe_flexible_toggle":null,"component_press":{"heading":"","button_text":"","manually_curate":false,"press":null}},{"acf_fc_layout":"layout_events","_acfe_flexible_toggle":null,"component_events":{"heading":"Events"}},{"acf_fc_layout":"layout_our_experts","_acfe_flexible_toggle":null,"component_our_experts":{"heading":"","manually_curate":false,"people":null}}]},"yoast_head":"\nCommon Cause v.
