In Slay the Dragon, a new documentary from Participant Media, we learn how a secret Republican project called REDMAP redrew congressional districts and guaranteed victory.

Across the country, 25 states have passed restrictive voting laws since 2010. In this clip from the new documentary, Slay the Dragon, we learn what happened in North Carolina.

New techniques in districting allow legislators to essentially pick their voters, instead of the other way around. And in 2010, Republicans in several states redrew maps that guaranteed victory.

It has been a long held tradition in American politics that every 10 years, the party in control of state houses would use gerrymandering to redraw districts in their favor for the next election. But in 2010, something different happened.

Voting rights. The Republican Party “would rather try to keep people from voting than lose,” David Daley tells Bill. Daley is a reporter who has written extensively about gerrymandering and voting rights — and fired up a generation of activists fighting for free and fair elections.

The success of these contests at every level are nothing short of a rallying cry for Democrats, and a warning shot for Republicans everywhere.

In a new case, the Court has the power to end extreme partisan gerrymandering before 2020. But what if it doesn't?

Justice Anthony Kennedy could provide the deciding vote in Gill v. Whitford, an upcoming case that looks at gerrymandering in Wisconsin. Oral arguments begin Tuesday.

In terms of numbers, most Americans reject conservative policy positions. So why are Republicans in office?

The right wing is looking to accomplish through gerrymandering what it can't do at the ballot box.
