In this episode, we look at redistricting.  Every 10 years the U.S. Government, mandated in the U.S. Constitution, counts every resident in the United States.  From that, U.S. House seats are allocated to the 50 states, based on population—and then the real battle begins—redistricting.  That is, the state legislatures are tasked with drawing the congressional district lines.  To help us navigate the interesting world of redistricting, we talk to Ross Ramsey.  Ross is the executive editor and co-founder of The Texas Tribune.  He writes regular columns for the Texas Tribune on politics, government and public policy.
