On this episode of the Wisconsin Forward podcast, Matt Rothschild talks about the national question of what should be done with redistricting in Texas, California, and other states around the nation with Ruth Conniff, editor-in-chief of the Wisconsin Examiner; Iuscely Flores, statewide organizer for the Wisconsin Fair Maps Coalition; and Sachin Chheda, one of the co-founders of that coalition. They all don’t agree, and that’s OK. Listen to the conversation, and decide for yourself.

Wisconsin Forward tells stories from one of the nation's most closely contested swing state. Host Matt Rothschild looks to explain the background on a number of issues across Wisconsin, including the seemingly split personality the state presents in electoral politics, the results of political gerrymandering, and many more. This multipart series will take a deeper look into Wisconsin politics, featuring voices from around the state and the Civic Media network, to provide the context of our complex swing state and provide some insight on how the state can move forward.
