Demystifying Redistricting (Pt 1)

Many of us have heard the word “redistricting”, but what does it actually mean and how does it work? For the first episode in our two-part series on redistricting, University of Virginia undergraduates Ellis Nolan and Garreth Bartholomew discuss the basics of redistricting in the United States at large and in Virginia. You’ll hear about the steps of the redistricting process, how it’s different from state to state, an overview of Gerrymandering, a crash course on how to read newly drawn maps, and why redistricting is important to representation.
Host, Editor, & Writer: Ellis Nolan
Guest: Garreth Bartholomew
Producer & Project Manager: Claire Downey
Episode Presentation by Larry Terry, Executive Director of the Weldon Cooper Center for Public Service.
