"In contrast to North Carolina's
Republicans, Indiana's did a remarkably good job of drawing sensible district
boundaries. The same holds true for Nevada's Democrats, although with only four
districts, the district boundaries in Nevada are dictated to a large degree by
the state's borders." (America’s
most gerrymandered congressional districts, Christopher Ingraham)
U.S.
Politics. The dividing of a state, county,
etc., into election districts so as to give one political party a majority in
many districts while concentrating the voting strength of the other party into
as few districts as possible. Most of the people know that
the better way of gerrymandering to work is in small strangely form that is not
compress with the congressional districts and Indiana’s congressional districts
are strangely form because they are enormous to impede gerrymandering to
happen. Moreover, Nevada has one of the largest and ordinary shaped congressional
districts in the nation and that’s why it is not a problem in the state. The
reason why I chose this passage it is because it demonstrated the expanse of
how the congressional districts size can be impact or influenced the
expectation of gerrymandering to happen.
