Guests include: Dave Wasserman, Senior Editor & Elections Analyst for The Cook Political Report; Samuel Wang, Princeton Gerrymandering Project Professor; Dan Vicuna, director of redistricting and representation for Common Cause.

  • Ohioans are going to the polls this November to vote on redistricting, again.
