About this episode
Welcome to The Georgia Politics Podcast! Redistricting shapes every election, but most voters only hear about it when controversy erupts.
On this episode, we take a closer look at how Georgia's political maps are drawn, why the process matters, and what it means for representation across the state.
Joining the show is Ken Lawler, Board Chair of Fair Districts GA, who explains the fundamentals of redistricting, the role of the legislature, and the ongoing debate over fairness, transparency, and political power. We discuss how district lines can influence election outcomes, the challenges of creating competitive and representative districts, and what Georgians should know as conversations about redistricting continue.
Whether you're a political junkie or simply want to better understand how your vote fits into the bigger picture, this episode offers an informative look at one of the most important — and often misunderstood — aspects of Georgia politics.
