Episode 2: The Last Gerrymander
The Royal Cannon Podcast with Cathy Cannon & Royal Webster
What do you get when you mix voter suppression, partisan power grabs, and some delightfully squiggly lines?
A democracy held together by duct tape and court cases.
In this episode, Cathy and Royal crack open the chaotic world of gerrymandering — the shady practice of redrawing political maps to rig elections without ever breaking a single law. From its messy colonial beginnings to the modern maps that look like abstract art projects on fire, we’re breaking down how this “totally legal cheating” works… and why it’s making your vote worth less (or maybe not count at all).
We go full civics teacher meets political therapist on:
This isn’t just about weird shapes on a map — it’s about power, people, and the future of representation in America. And spoiler alert: If you think your vote still counts the way it should… you might wanna listen twice.
If you’re into spicy history, no-bullshit breakdowns, and political tea with constitutional receipts — hit that follow button and subscribe. New episodes drop weekly, and trust us… this ride is just getting started.
