Ep046: Redistricting Revenge (Guest: Dr. Sondra Cosgrove)

Mid-decade redistricting and charges of gerrymandering continue to roil national political discussions, leading 775 Alive to revisit the issue. Dr. Sondra Cosgrove of the College of Southern Nevada and Vote Nevada joins Crystal and Scott to break apart some of the national and Nevada concerns. After looking at the history of gerrymandering, we delve into what should be the basis of “communities of interest” in redistricting: political parties? Race? Socio-economic status? Shared life-style? Local governmental units? And who decides—legislatures or independent commissions?Vote Nevada: https://vote-nevada.org/Vote Nevada blog: https://vote-nevada-blog.org/[email protected]
