I agree, Gerrymandering or “Redistricting” is a very serious
matter that we need to pay attention to. The way they redraw these lines
baffles me, I cannot believe that they would allow this based on the way the
district lines end up looking like. They obviously do not look like they did it
“fairly” but of course the government still allows this. Probably because if
the representatives stay in power in every state every time then they get to
vote for whoever is on top of them and so on. Everyone gets to keep their
power, so why would the government want to change anything. This ends up
ruining our country, we cannot function as a representative democracy because
we are not one. We are not fairly represented by the people we choose, because
today I could be in one district and next time they will draw a line around my
house, that is allowed by the way, which I don’t think is fair. What needs to
be done is that they need to get rid of this process, not the whole
redistricting process but the way they do it, if they use the census then that’s
what they should use to draw the lines not let some draw lines around the
people they want to vote for them, that is not fair at all and this country
needs to be represented fairly in order for it to function properly.
