How gerrymandering changes election outcomes and a way to fight it (featuring Tom Joseph)

In this episode, Dave and Gav sit down with Tom Joseph, an early tech entrepreneur and the Treasurer of America’s Main Street Party, to talk about how and why political parties in the U.S use gerrymandering to retain power and limit opposition.Tom presents a radical idea to fight gerrymandering with a super PAC—fighting fire with fire so to speak—which opens the door for more voters to have their voices heard and to narrow down the field of potential political candidates to choose the one voters want.Curious about how to really make your vote count, or about the U.S. electoral system?
