It's All About The Gerrymandering

On the Media | Jun 23, 2017

This week, the GOP won a special election in Georgia's 6th Congressional district. Pundits wondered why Democrats can't seem to score any seats in Congress. Meanwhile, at the Supreme Court, justices agreed to hear a case on gerrymandering.

Journalist David Daley talks with Bob about how the special elections aren't simply about the candidates, but about how district lines are drawn—and why the media and politicians tend to miss that. Daley is a senior fellow at FairVote and the author of, Ratf**ked: The True Story Behind the Secret Plan to Steal America's Democracy.
