Question: Gerrymandering is not a new phenomenon, nor a partisan practice. In fact, the Supreme Court will be hearing a case on the constitutionality of gerrymandering this year; however, in past cases the SCOTUS has failed to rule the practice unconstitutional. The custom of “redrawing” congressional districts to manipulate the electorate has distorted congress and threatens our democratic process.
