The Gerrymandering Problem No One Wants to Fix

The Gerrymandering Problem No One Wants to Fix

Today, Michael dives deep into the complex and controversial issue of gerrymandering — what it is, where it’s happening, and how you can find out if you live in a distorted district. Prompted by today's Daily Poll Question at Smerconish.com (“Do you live in a gerrymandered legislative district?”), this episode offers a clear, engaging primer on political redistricting, the history behind it, and the real-life consequences playing out in places like Texas. Plus, hear Michael’s thoughts on how fair maps could actually work — and why that’s such a rare outcome. Listen here, and please share, rate, and review this podcast!
