The Science of Stolen Votes: Technology Transforms Redistricting

From crude paper maps to artificial intelligence, this episode chronicles the technological revolution that transformed gerrymandering from amateur political theatre into precision electoral engineering. Alexandra examines how computer algorithms, consumer databases, and machine learning have given modern politicians unprecedented power to manipulate election outcomes, using detailed case studies from the 2010 REDMAP project and beyond. The episode reveals how data scientists now treat electoral manipulation as a purely technical challenge, deploying the same sophisticated tools used by tech companies and Wall Street firms to engineer political outcomes with mathematical certainty, making today's gerrymanders both more effective and more difficult to detect than their historical predecessors.
