Do Voters Pick Their Politicians - Or Do Politicians Pick Their Voters?
A Conversation with Nick Seabrook on Gerrymandering
Gerrymandering—according to Webster, is "to divide or arrange (an area) into political units to give special advantages to one groupwhen voting districts are designed to achieve specific political outcomes."
Join us as we welcome Professor Nick Seabrook, an authority on gerrymandering and constitutional law, to discuss his new book One Person, One Vote - A Surprising History of Gerrymandering In America and, just weeks before our nation heads to the polls, will break down how new voting districts following the 2020 U.S. Census could affect election results for years to come.
