Description

It's our 100th episode (thank you!) and Maria is reporting around the country for the next few weeks so we ask, "Where is Maria?" before we finally discuss topics you have told us to do for a while now: gerrymandering and other forms of limiting the power to vote. Julio talks with David Daley, senior fellow for FairVote and the author of "Ratfucked: The True Story Behind the Secret Plan to Steal America's Democracy" and Desmond Meade, executive director of the Florida Rights Restoration Coalition and chair of Floridians for a Fair Democracy, about how communities of color can be better represented electorally.
