The mid-decade redistricting shockwave and the citizenship laws that would change everything
Manage episode 498995225 series 3669733
On this episode of the podcast, Amanda Head is joined by election law expert and The Heritage Foundation’s Senior Legal Fellow Hans von Spakovsky, in addition to Wyoming Secretary of State Chuck Gray.
The pair pull back the curtain on the political and legal battles shaping America’s upcoming elections. Von Spakovsky tackles the hot-button issue of mid-decade redistricting, explaining why states can legally redraw their maps anytime and how census undercounts, like Texas’ missing half-million residents, distort representation. He makes the case for using citizen population instead of total population to ensure districts reflect real voting power.
Meanwhile Secretary Gray details Wyoming’s ironclad election integrity system, from proof-of-citizenship requirements to robust voter list maintenance tools, and warns that federal reforms like the SAVE Act are essential to secure voter rolls nationwide.
