Welcome back to Your Vote Matters! In this episode, Dan, T'alyce, and Ellie discuss gerrymandering and its impacts on American Politics. First, we spoke to Sam Wang, a professor of neuroscience at Princeton and founder of the Princeton Gerrymandering Project, as well as Aaron Barden, Legal and Policy Analyst at the Project. They share the data and trends their project has found as it relates to the impact of gerrymandering and speak on how their project seeks to connect citizens more closely to democracy, with a focus on 2021 redistricting.
After the Break, Dan, Ellie, and T'alyce discuss the ways to stay civically engaged after college is over for the Class of 2020, and college students who are not on campus during the summer.
