An Ignoble Experiment: just another way the GOP is upending democracy

Pew: As Abortion Measures Loom, GOP Raises New Barriers to Ballot Initiatives; Florida Phoenix: FYI Voters: Soon it could become more difficult to pass a constitutional amendment; Arkansas Times: Blatantly unconstitutional bill to raise threshold for ballot petitions clears Senate committee; St. Louis Post-Dispatch: Missouri Senate debates raising bar for constitutional amendments; Ohio Capital Journal: Ohio Republicans launch effort to make citizen-led amendments harder to pass for voters

Lewis, Republicans know they can't win elections by running on their extreme, anti-choice agenda. But instead of trying to persuade voters, they want to change the rules to win elections – and they're upending democracy in the process.

This wave of anti-democratic bills is reckless – and it's also a consequence of gerrymandering. Will you donate today to help the NDRC fight for fairness across the country so we can hand power back to the people?

A.G. Holder didn't hold back when describing this Republican power play:

Republicans have accepted they're a minority with majority power and they're okay with not getting votes.

He's right. For years, the GOP has relied on gerrymandering and voter suppression to cement their power. Now, Republican lawmakers want to make it even harder for voters to hold them accountable.

Lewis, to defeat Republican efforts to weaken our democracy, we must renew our commitment to expanding it and strengthening it. The NDRC is in this fight for the long haul. If you're with us, will you pitch in today to help us keep going?
