The Election Truther Chairing the Redistricting Committee

This week on the Get More Smarter Podcast, The Colorado Republican Party elects arguably their least electorally successful member to be their chair, there is a conspiracy theorist chairing the congressional redistricting commission, we discuss whether he believes maps exist, it’s actually infrastructure week for the first time in at least 5 years, we legislate with crayons once again, and we explain to Lauren Boebert who the anti-fascists in 1930’s Germany were fighting.
