Episode 42: Power Grab w/ Kartik Krishnaiyer

Friend of the show and Florida historian Kartik Krishnaiyer makes his return to the show to talk about Florida Republicans' gerrymandering power grab. We already knew the GOP were rigging districts to benefit their own party, but Kartik breaks it down further and shows how Republicans from rural areas are attacking the very concept of having urban voters represented in government. Kartik and Ryan explore how gerrymandering combined with urban planning can influence not just the state's political landscape, but its community life. You can keep in touch with Kartik at the Florida History Podcast and the Florida Squeeze.
