David Pepper, author of Laboratories of Autocracy, joins us to discuss gerrymandering, voter suppression, and how the MAGA GOP has used these strategies to capture statehouses and pass extreme policies in Indiana, Ohio, and many other Red States. His next book is how everyday people can take action to save Democracy, and he previews this, telling us that every community organization, mayor, and business need to take responsibility for democracy and provide their citizens and patrons the opportunity to register to vote everywhere.
