Summary: On this week’s If Then, Slate’s April Glaser and Will Oremus take a deep look into gerrymandering and the highly specialized mapping technology that has allowed for political parties - especially the GOP since 2010 - to drastically change the way political districts are drawn and controlled. The hosts are joined by David Daley, a senior fellow at FairVote and the author of <em>Ratf**ked: The True Story Behind the Secret Plan to Steal America's Democracy</em>. This interview was recorded on March 13th, so no news or tabs this week, but we’ll be back to our regular schedule next week. <br><br>Podcast production by Max Jacobs.<br><br><strong><em>If Then</em></strong><strong> plugs: </strong><br>You can get updates about what’s coming up next by following us on Twitter <a href="https://twitter.com/ifthenpod"><strong>@ifthenpod</strong></a>.
