The first episode of "UnRig It," the new podcast of the National Association of Nonpartisan Reformers, features two topics: first, on data for nonpartisan reform groups. We welcome Paul Westcott from L2 political to provide an update on data and modeling, as well as how NANR’s relationship with L2 can help level the playing field with the NANR Advantage Data Platform.

Second, we discuss the important legal actions happening across the country to demand increased competition and choice for all voters. We talk with Chad Peace from the Independent Voter Project, Harry Kreskey from Independent Voting, and Scott Greytak from RepresentUs to discuss legal updates for reformers and next steps following the Supreme Court’s refusal to weigh in on partisan gerrymandering and other topics.

We hope you enjoy our podcast. If you have a suggestion for a topic and expert we should invite to a future podcast please let us know at contact@nonpartisanreformers.org.

The razor-thin margin means the stakes in the 2026 midterms could not be higher. With so few competitive seats left nationwide, both parties are turning to mid-decade redistricting as a way to secure advantages....
