I know a special session costs money, but fighting gerrymandering in the courts costs money too.

1776 signatures right now. Seems appropriate.

Please do this. It is not a partisan issue. It's a democracy issue.

Gerrymandering will kill this country if we let it. Don't let it.

This is a HUGE issue. It is inconceivable that any legislative representative would oppose an independent, nonpartisan commission to create fair districts as described, if required to reveal their vote. - Surely we deserve to know which of our representatives does or does not support this petition and well before the next election cycle.

I am from Marblehead, MA, the home of Eldridge Gerry. It was a poor practice in his time and remains so.

The redistricting in Virginia is illegal and our state representatives should be voted out of office for tampering with our laws.

I am only just learning what an insidious practice this is, and it's frustrating. Please pass down this important legislation and make them vote!

This really needs to be done to bring back the notion that "we the people" elect our state/federal representatives.

Free and fair elections are a fundamental requirement of democracy. Gerrymandering is just plain unfair. It must be stopped.

It's time we take back our government. Political gerrymandering must stop and the small minority allowing it to continue must be removed.

Dear Governor McAuliffe,
Redistricting is so important to bring back the voice to the people and to create less partisanship in the legislature. Please consider holding a special session this year.
