[00:00:11][screaming] Gerrymandering is the creative use of lines on maps to create districts that are not reflective of the population as a whole, right? So, you take a part of Dallas and you run it the district way out into East Texas. Mhm.

[00:00:26]And so, you now you got somebody in East Texas with the same Congressperson as somebody in East Texas, [music] right?

[00:00:31]They're totally different needs. Right.

[00:00:33]But, they got the same Congressperson.

[00:00:34]Right. And so, that's how you keep from having [music] more Democratic representatives. And ultimately, that's how you keep a Republican Congress.

[00:00:41]Yeah. And so, then they have they can pass their laws they want to pass. They can exploit people they they want to exploit [music] people. And listen, I'm I'm I think the athlete in me thinks that we should just have fair maps that politicians don't draw. Yeah. Right.

[00:00:55]Independent drawing of the maps. And if you win, you win. If you don't, you don't. But, don't try to rig it.
