80% of elections are decided before a single vote is cast.

F*ck it.
We're running anyway.

Keep in touch!

The Can't Win Victory Fund helps cant-idates run for office in unwinnable districts.

Politicians are picking their voters instead of voters picking their politicians.

This rigged system has real consequences:

In 2024 81% of our state legislative races were either uncontested or uncompetitive. That's not a real democracy but it is some real bullsh*t.
Winners are decided before votes are cast, leaving communities voiceless.
Folks feel like their votes don't matter...so they don't vote.
State legislatures pass extreme laws, ignoring the will of the people.
Elected leaders report to map-makers, not voters.

We deserve competitive elections that hold our leaders accountable. But, most of the time, we don't have them.

At Can't Win, we run anyway.

Because when we run, we win:

Increased voter turnout
Flipped R->D votes
A strong bench for a fair map future
Long term organizing
Votes on the margin that win statewide elections
Credibility and trust in communities that feel left behind

gerrymandering:
by the numbers

Both parties gerrymander (and both are wrong). Republicans are currently gerrymandering more.

Gerrymandering determines control of the US House of Representatives and 13 state legislatures.
