Is your vote not counting? In Ohio, and across the country, the political game is rigged through gerrymandering. In this urgent episode, we sit down with Catherine Turcer from Common Cause Ohio to expose how politicians manipulate district lines to choose their voters, silencing your voice and impacting everything from abortion access to school funding.
We break down the corrupt redistricting process in plain English, revealing how “packing” and “cracking” voters with high-tech precision leads to unaccountable politicians and extreme policies that the majority of Ohioans don’t support. Learn how gerrymandering directly led to the loss of abortion rights in Ohio and why lawmakers feel empowered to ignore their constituents.
Discover:
-The shocking reality of Ohio’s “unconstitutional” congressional maps and how they violate the state’s own constitution.
-The direct link between gerrymandering and the loss of reproductive freedom, Medicaid funding, and public education cuts.
-How politicians use deceitful tactics, including lying on the ballot, to maintain their power.
-The 2025 redistricting fight happening NOW and why this mid-cycle redraw is a critical moment for democracy.
-Practical steps you can take to demand fair maps and hold mapmakers accountable.
If you care about voting rights, abortion access, fair elections, and holding politicians accountable, this conversation is a must-watch.
