    Learning about Gerrymandering was one of the first times I noticed cracks in our democracy.

    I grew up in the Midwest, and I truly thought America had done it. We solved corruption and bad governments, why wouldn’t the rest of the world want to know how to do it right?

    Gerrymandering proves the absolute worst of our system. Corrupted officials carving the worst possible areas to make sure the person they want to get elected is elected - and the only time we get to change them is once a decade - when the same committee decides again.
