Pelosi Responds to Supreme Court Decision on Texas Redistricting

“Today’s ruling by the Supreme Court striking down portions of the gerrymandered
“Congress must take immediate action to correct this redistricting scheme that illegally denied minority voters their rights. We should pass Democratic legislation to conduct non-partisan redistricting and to bar mid-decade redistricting.
“The Republican Leadership also must end the delay and allow Congress to vote on the bipartisan, bicameral legislation reauthorizing the Voting Rights Act. This legislation is more important than ever given today’s Supreme Court ruling.”
“ Democrats are united in presenting a New Direction for America, one that will make our nation as strong as its people, one that brings opportunity, security, and prosperity to all Americans. ”
