Rep. Veasey Introduces Anti-Rigging Act to Stop States From Redrawing Voting Maps Multiple Times a Decade
The Anti-Rigging Act of 2025 is currently in the early stages of the legislative process. It was recently introduced and sent to the House Committee on the Judiciary for review. There are no upcoming votes scheduled at this time.
This bill is supported only by Democrats and faces a tough path in a divided Congress where redistricting is a highly partisan issue.
Minority communities, including LGBTQ populations concentrated in urban areas, are often targets of mid-decade redistricting that dilutes their voting power by splitting their communities across multiple districts. By limiting redistricting to once per decade, this bill would protect the political representation of communities that have already been drawn into cohesive districts.
