Rigged Maps, Broken Politics, and a Way Forward w/ Kate Barr
Rigged maps are quietly reshaping who holds power and whether voters can truly hold leaders accountable. Kate Barr joins us to talk about why gerrymandering has become one of the biggest political fights in the South, how broken district maps fuel broken politics, and why so many communities feel ignored by the people meant to represent them. We dig into minority rule, the long-term consequences of noncompetitive elections, and why state legislatures in places like South Carolina, North Carolina, Georgia, and Tennessee could shape the future of democracy. Most importantly, we talk about what actually works, why the fight is not over, and what a real path forward could look like.

05:44 Operation REDMAP’s Lasting Damage
09:16 Minority Rule and Fighting Back
