DeSantis Thinks He Can Rig Florida — Again

Virginia’s redistricting amendment is finally on the ballot after the state supreme court finally cleared the way for the April 21st election to move forward — an election that could dramatically shape how the mid-decade redistricting battle moves forward. In this episode, Marina Jenkins and John Bisognano break down what’s at stake in Virginia and why former President Barack Obama is encouraging voters to get involved. They also discuss Florida, where Gov. Ron DeSantis continues to aggressively pursue joining the redistricting arms race, and how Utah Republicans taking new steps undermine a voter-approved measure to curb gerrymandering.

In the latest episode of Drawing the Line, Marina Jenkins & John Bisognano break down Trump’s disturbing rhetoric and how it plays directly into the recent wave of mid-decade redistricting. 🌐 ⁠Visit Our Website⁠ [https://democraticredistricting.com/] | 🗳️ ⁠Support Our Work⁠ [https://secure.actblue.com/donate/ndrc-drawtheline]  Follow the National Democratic Redistricting Committee: ⁠Bluesky⁠ [https://bsky.app/profile/democraticredistricting.com] | ⁠X/Twitter⁠ [https://x.com/demredistrict] | ⁠Facebook⁠ [https://www.facebook.com/DemRedistrict] | ⁠Instagram⁠ [https://www.instagram.com/demredistrict/] | ⁠Threads⁠ [https://www.threads.net/@demredistrict]
