Gerrymandering has been making headlines as states like Texas move to “create” five additional Republican congressional seats while California counters with efforts to add five Democratic seats. But what exactly is gerrymandering? How does the process work, and why is it so influential in shaping American politics? Is it even legal—and if so, to what extent? Join Roy Klein for an engaging and accessible discussion on this controversial practice that has shaped electoral outcomes for centuries. Learn how district lines are drawn, how the practice impacts representation, and why it remains at the center of today’s political battles. Gain a clearer understanding of a process that continues to challenge the balance between democracy and partisanship.
