The state's new political maps have gotten a final stamp of approval from the independent redistricting commission. But one lawsuit is already in the works over how lines were drawn in and around Detroit. On today's episode, we'll talk to a reporter about the response to the new maps and a state lawmaker who says they dilute the power of Black voters. 

GUESTS: 

Clara Hendrickson, Report for America fellow who has been covering the commission’s work for the Detroit Free Press

Adam Hollier, Democrat representing Michigan's 2nd State Senate district
