Walk-Ins Welcome with Bridget Phetasy

E337. Gerrymandering Exposed - How Maps Steal Your Vote - Kate Compton Barr


Listen Later

Kate Compton Barr, a North Carolina state senate candidate, deliberately ran a campaign she knew wouldn't win to highlight gerrymandering issues. She and Bridget discuss how politicians strategically redraw voting districts to maintain power, techniques like "packing" and "cracking," and why it’s one of the most extreme problems facing our country right now. They cover her background in behavioral science, examining how digital echo chambers and pandemic-related stress have contributed to political polarization, her mission to disrupt the system, what it’s actually like to knock on doors to canvass votes, and how much time they both spend wondering how Kurt Cobain would react to specific things in modern life.

Walk-Ins Welcome with Bridget Phetasy - Podcast Bridget Phetasy admires grit and authenticity. On Walk-Ins Welcome, she talks about the beautiful failures and frightening successes of her own life and the lives of her guests. She doesn’t conduct interviews—she has conversations. Conversations with real people about the real struggle and will remind you that we can laugh in pain and cry in joy but there’s no greater mistake than hiding from it all.
