We, the concerned citizens of Chatham County, oppose the proposed redistricting plan based on out-dated data. We also oppose placing on the ballot in November a referendum to change our method of electing county commissioners from the current countywide majority rule voting to a district voting scheme that will further divide the county, disenfranchise African-American voters and encourage corrupt, pork-barrel politics.
(Note: after you click to sign the petition, you will be taken to a confirmation page that includes a donation request to support ipetitions. This is not required. Your signature will already have been added.)
The administration is trying to rush this process behind closed doors to avoid public scrutiny. Call your county commissioner today and demand they pause the redistricting vote until we have current data. Post this link on your Facebook page so our neighbors know exactly what is at stake.

The momentum behind our opposition to these district changes is growing every single day. Call your county commissioner today to tell them you reject this plan and post this link on your Facebook page to grow our reach even further.

They just want more power for themselves. District voting is a disaster waiting to happen for Chatham.

We see right through this. Quit trying to disenfranchise voters to play political games.

THIS IS WRONG. Stop trying to rush these changes through without real input from the people who actually live here.

This whole plan sounds like a recipe for corruption. Keep it countywide.

Old data is useless. Do it right or dont do it all.

Keep our voting system the way it is. We dont need politicians carving up the county just to suit their own agendas.
