Topic: Gerrymandering and creating "fair districts" in Pennsylvania

Guest: Carol Kuniholm, chair, Fair Districts PA

How discussed: What is gerrymandering? How does it divide boroughs, townships and counties? Does it disenfranchise voters and lead to increased political division? Why is "fair districting" a bipartisan issue? What happened in the Pennsylvania State Senate that set back the cause of "fair districting"? How and why should citizens be concerned?
