Today we unpack one of the most absurd yet impactful forces shaping American politics. Grace explores how state legislatures twist district lines into political strongholds, ensuring winners before voters ever cast a ballot. From South Carolina to Texas, we look at partisan maps, racial gerrymanders, and the role of independent redistricting commissions. The conversation dives into why elections feel rigged, how primaries drive extremism, and why true democracy depends on fair maps and healthy competition.
