Massachusetts Redistricting - Monday June 14

Lawmakers in Massachusetts are pondering a redistricting bill that would allow legislators to reconfigure state and federal political boundaries before local governments. This, a reversal from traditional state practice, could affect where you vote and whom you can vote for.

Representative Shawn Dooley explains why he opposes the bill, while Representative Alice Peisch gives her perspective on why Massachusetts needs this bill passed now.

After hearing both sides, Dara Kennedy and Maya Shwayder talk to Michael Li, Senior Counsel at the Brennan Center For Justice in Washington D.C. to understand how voting precincts are drawn.

Avi Green, Board Member, Common Cause of Massachusetts, will explain how shifting voting boundaries impacts you.
