Listen "State of Democracy: Rigged Maps, Stolen Voices in North Carolina"
Episode Synopsis
When politicians get to choose their voters instead of voters choosing their politicians, we all lose. In this episode, we continue our in-depth examination of racial gerrymandering in North Carolina. Host Kai McNeil sits down with Tyler Daye, Policy and Civic Engagement Manager at Common Cause NC, to explore how the fight for fair representation fits into a broader strategy to weaken democracy across the South. Building on our previous conversation with Dr. Jovita Lee about the Winston-Salem federal trial, Tyler breaks down Common Cause's role in the legal challenges, what makes this current round of maps particularly concerning, and how North Carolina's fight compares to similar battles in Texas. From the status of ongoing cases to what real redistricting reform could look like, this conversation explains why fair representation matters for all North CaroliniansSupport the showFollow us on all your favorite platforms!
