Will Redistricting Shape the Midterms? - with Jonathan Rodden and Sam Wang17 Sept52 min

What does it mean for voters when the politicians get to choose their constituents, instead of the other way around? In this episode, Governors Haslam and Bredesen pull back the curtain on redistricting and gerrymandering, the once-obscure process now at the center of America’s fiercest political battles. The Governors speak with Jonathan Rodden, professor of political science at Stanford University, and Sam Wang, founder and director of the Princeton Gerrymandering Project and the Electoral Innovation Lab, about fair maps, how the newly drawn district lines might impact this midterm election and the implications for future elections.
