Gerrymandering at Its Worst: A North Carolina Case Study

Mar 03, 2019

Representative Pricey Harrison of the North Carolina House of Representatives, Saumya Narechania, director of census and community engagement at National Democratic Redistricting Committee, and moderator Shaniqua McClendon, political director for Crooked Media, discuss the complicated and controversial practice of gerrymandering. Gerrymandering has a long history in the United States, but within the last decade North Carolina has become the face of some of the most egregious practices in the country. Congressional and state legislative districts throughout the state have empowered one party while crippling the other. Moderated by Ian Masters, journalist, author, screenwriter, documentary filmmaker, and radio host. Hammer Forum is made possible in part by Bronya and Andrew Galef.
