The Lincoln Project

Forget ballot stuffing — the real con is happening at the drafting table. Rick Wilson and redistricting assassin Dave Daley rip into the 2025 gerrymander scam that’s turning democracy into a rigged casino. The lines are drawn, the fix is in, and voters are the suckers at the table. From Texas to New York, Republicans are carving maps like mobsters carving turf — locking in power before a single vote is cast. Rick and Dave break down the cartographic crime scene, torch the Democrats sleepwalking through it, and lay out what it means when the map decides the outcome before the voters ever get their say.
