Every Democratic state that can do this, should do this.
Then, when we control the levels of power in DC, we ban gerrymandering for the entire country. Once and for all. Everyone playing by the same rules.

🚨 Sources close to the DC mayor and police say, Trump will deploy 1,000 National Guard troops into D.C. tomorrow/Monday.
• For context, Los Angeles is 502.7 square miles, and he deployed 4,000 troops there.
• Washington, D.C. is only 68.3 square miles.
This is what cities under siege look like.
