15:16Now Playing“RIGGING THE MAP” isn’t just a talking point, it’s becoming the structure of American politics. In this extended segment, Susan Demas and Edwin Eisendrath break down how recent Supreme Court decisions are reshaping the mechanics of democracy itself. From the weakening of the Voting Rights Act to the expansion of aggressive gerrymandering, the rules that determine political power are shifting in ways most voters never see—but feel the effects of.
This isn’t about one election cycle. It’s about how maps are drawn, how districts are constructed, and how entire communities can be diluted or effectively erased from representation. In some states, the outcome of elections is becoming increasingly predictable—not because of voter preference alone, but because of how the system is designed.
The conversation also traces the broader arc of Supreme Court influence—from campaign finance decisions like Citizens United to more recent rulings that reshape voting access and districting standards. Together, these changes create a system where control over the map can matter more than persuasion at the ballot box.
And that raises a fundamental question: if voters don’t choose their representatives—but the system chooses its voters—what does that mean for the future of democracy?
