Undemocratic: Gerrymandering and the Electoral College


Listen Later

In a country where elections are meant to be free and fair, those in power have made it their mission to ensure that only the voice of a few can actually be heard. In this episode, we discuss the practicality of the Electoral College and whether it is still necessary in today's society. We also discuss the undemocratic practice of gerrymandering and how it has severely undermined our elections and suppressed voter engagement. We put forth our ideas of how we can restore enthusiasm in our elections and what different states in the country have done to do their part in the fight.
