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.
