Maybe the Supreme Court is not the right entity to decide this issue, but gerrymandering is obviously anti-democratic. By permitting it for political gain, the court allows our two dominant political parties to act as “kingmakers” by controlling the relative level of impact for each vote. With the sophistication of modern data collection and modeling, we’re increasingly seeing politicians win popular vote counts in state races while losing the election.
We need a wholesale reconsideration of our election fairness and security practices in this country.
