Make It Make Sense with Grant Hermes
Ratf*cking America w/ Author David Daley
Extreme gerrymandering is ruining American democracy and right now, the country is in the middle of a redistricting arms race. Essentially, it's politicians choosing voters instead of voters choosing politicians.
Grant talks to author and redistricting expert David Daley about just how extreme things are about to get after Texas and California vowed to change their maps, how and why Republicans have drawn more extreme district maps over the past 20 years, and what can be done to walk us back from the brink of our gerrymandering armageddon.
