Create a constitutional amendment making gerrymandering less effective in favoring one party over another.

Created by C.D. on January 23, 2013

In the process of setting electoral districts, gerrymandering is a practice that attempts to establish a political advantage for a particular party or group by manipulating geographic boundaries in a state to create partisan advantaged districts. Gerrymandering may be used to help or hinder a particular political, racial, or class group from having their vote count.

Some countries authorize non-partisan organizations to set constituency boundaries in an attempt to prevent gerrymandering and make the boundaries fair. America needs to do this.

Gerrymandering creates situations where elected officials do not have to represent anyone because they will be elected no matter whether their state constituents agree. This nullifies our votes and creates policies the voter majority may not want
