Maggie takes on the menace of gerrymandering with Greta Bedekovics from the Center for American Progress, unpacking how mid-decade redistricting distorts democracy and opens the door to election rigging. They spotlight the urgent need for federal reform, including the recently proposed Freedom to Vote Act. Later, Stacey Abrams joins the conversation to address the creeping threat of authoritarianism in America—seen in racial profiling and attacks on voting rights—underscoring why vigilance is essential to safeguarding democracy for all.
