Gerrymandering: The Political Game of Districts
Description
Gerrymandering: The Art of Political Manipulation - A deep dive into the centuries-old practice of redrawing voting districts to favor political parties. Both Republicans and Democrats engage in this tactic, either packing opponents voters into a few districts or spreading them thin. The Supreme Court ruled in 2019 that federal judges cant intervene in partisan gerrymandering, leaving it to state courts and independent commissions. Post-2020 census, both parties are redrawing districts to gain an edge, with about one-third of states districts showing partisan tilts. Expect more map battles in the lead-up to the 2026 elections.
