On this edition of Your Call's Media Roundtable, we're discussing the Republican Party's ongoing efforts to suppress the vote. Between January 1 and May 14, 2021, at least 14 states enacted 22 new laws to restrict voting.
We'll also discuss the current state of gerrymandering. David Daley reports that Republicans can win the next election through gerrymandering alone.
