Gerrymandering Threat Index shows 35 States In Danger Of Rigged Maps For Next Decade April 5, 2021 GMT WASHINGTON, April 5, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Thirty-five states are at extreme or high risk of partisan gerrymandering, according to an in-depth, one-of-a-kind report released by the nonpartisan, anti-corruption organization RepresentUs. The Gerrymandering Threat Index rates all 50 states - and the results show the urgent need to pass the redistricting reforms within the For the People Act, that would end partisan gerrymandering at the congressional level. ADVERTISEMENT “This report makes it clear that gerrymandering is a national crisis that needs an urgent and bold solution. Politicians are already preparing to pick their voters during this year’s redistricting. But with the For the People Act, Congress has a chance to stop them before they get started,” said Josh Silver, CEO, and Cofounder of RepresentUs. “If this critical bill doesn’t pass, 188 million Americans will be stuck with corrupt and unaccountable representatives for the next ten years.”
