Gerrymandering applies as much to local school, county, and state districts as it does federal districts. At the school and county and state level, all issues are local. In fact, most legislation that has a large tangible effect on your kids, your home, and your job occurs locally, not federally.
- JDDunn9 11y agoThe Federal government makes decisions for the entire nation. State-specific issues should not make their way into Congress. State issues are likewise at the state level. There is no reason to make sure two counties are represented, since they won't get separate laws/taxes. All that matters is that the people being affected by the laws are equally represented. That cannot happen with districting.
