“In 2010, Republicans swept control of the executive branch and both houses of the legislature, giving Republicans control over over the map drawing process that went on to define our state for a generation. Republicans set up shop behind closed doors with high paid attorneys, made their Republican members sign secrecy pledges and use technology and algorithms to draw some of the most undemocratic gerrymandered legislative maps in the United States of America. And we know how that story ended too. Republicans who gerrymandered themselves into safe seats have done irreparable damage to our state's traditions, our institutions and our basic functions of government.” (01:24–01:43)
