Redistricted Thanksgiving
from Battleground Wisconsin · host Brian Wooldridge
We welcome Citizen Action Organizing Cooperative member, Sachin Chheda, who is the Director of the Fair Elections Project to discuss the Thanksgiving victory this week for the gerrymandering redistricting lawsuit. On Monday, judges ruled 2-1 that the GOP Assembly redistricting maps were unconstitutional because they were "intended to burden the representational rights of Democratic voters ... by impeding their ability to translate their votes into legislative seats." Sachin tells us more about the lawsuit and we discuss next steps and its prospects before the U.S. Supreme Court. Robert also address the potential for a Presidential recount in Wisconsin and two other states.
