Gerrymandering is the practice of manipulating electoral boundaries to give unfair political advantage to a party or group. The term comes from a governor of Massachusetts, Elbridge Gerry, who in 1812, did just that, as illustrated in this political cartoon. https://t.co/9Zsli9LD7A — PolitiTweet.org

These maps should be fair — the Constitution's principle of "one person, one vote" and the 14th Amendment's equal protection guarantee are in place to make sure they are. But too often, redistricting is used to rig the process and "gerrymander" electoral district lines. — PolitiTweet.org

When politicians draw unfair district lines, they no longer have to work to earn our support and our communities are sacrificed to self-interest and partisan politics. Politicians shouldn't get to pick their voters. We should pick our politicians. — PolitiTweet.org
