    No it is wrong. It should be done asthmatically in an expanding box.

    Dem's are only against it today because the R's are about to royally screw the D's.

    Gerrymandering should be illegal. Gerrymandering is election stealing.

    This is clearly setup to insure the incumbent wins:
    Illinois 4th district

    North Carolina 12 District

    Districts should be created with no regard to pre-selecting the outcome of an election. Districts should be drawn with no regard to race or gender or ethnicity or political party, but based on geographic and economic concerns. In the vast majority of cases its very obvious to the local community what the district lines should be.

    No! It’s an unfair advantage, regardless of ons’s party affiliation.

    Politicians should be able to win based on their ideas. If you have to give yourself an unfair advantage in order to win, you probably should stay out of politics and find another job.
