The Contrarian: We Must Fight Dirty!

How Democrats Can Legally Win 10 House Seats Back

In this urgent interview, Tim Dickinson sits down with Mother Jones voting rights reporter Ari Berman to expose the GOP's ruthless new strategy to guarantee a 10-seat advantage in the House.

Following the Supreme Court's devastating "Calais" decision, Southern Republicans are moving at breakneck speed, including dismantling a 100-year-old majority-black district in Tennessee in just 72 hours and literally suspending a congressional election in Louisiana. With the John Roberts Court greenlighting this return to Jim Crow-era maps, Berman explains why the "good government" era is over. To save the House, massive blue states like California, New York, and Illinois must take the gloves off, fight fire with fire, and aggressively redraw their own maps to offset the GOP's cheating.
