The Big Consequences Of Small Changes To Congressional Maps

Congressional districts are redrawn every ten years by state legislatures.

This episode: White House correspondent Scott Detrow, national political correspondent Mara Liasson, Georgia Public Broadcasting's Stephen Fowler, and KERA's Bret Jasper.
