The Atlas Of Redistricting

There’s a lot of complaining about gerrymandering, but what should districts look like? We went back to the drawing board and drew a set of alternative congressional maps for the entire country. Each map has a different goal:
One is designed to encourage competitive elections, for example, and another to maximize the number of majority-minority districts. See how changes to district boundaries could radically alter the partisan and racial makeup of the U.S. House — without a single voter moving or switching parties.

Gerrymandering leads to more extreme, crazy, totally corrupt Democrats being elected, which (it could be argued) is good for our side.

Gerrymandering is okay if judges do it.
