Getting Democracy Back w/ David Daley

Author-journalist David Daley joins the podcast to provide a mid-summer check-in, explaining how New York City's first use of ranked-choice resulted in the most diverse city council in the city's history, attempts to explain Sam Alito's reasoning that "some" disparity in the ability to cast votes n Arizona is okay, and also how--through the magic of gerrymandering--if voters vote the same way in 2022, the Republicans may win back the House despite getting 5 million fewer votes.
