Today's Poll Question: Is retaliatory gerrymandering ever justified?

About this episode

Today's Poll Question at Smerconish.com: Is retaliatory gerrymandering ever justified? Michael unpacks Virginia’s controversial mid-decade redistricting move and the broader national trend of partisan map-drawing in response to earlier actions by opposing parties. With Republicans and Democrats both reshaping districts to gain advantage, the question becomes whether “fighting fire with fire” is defensible—or corrosive to democracy itself. Is this strategic necessity, or a race to the bottom? Listen here, then vote! Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
