SImple Gerrymandering
Storyboard Text
- We have a very tiny state of seventy people. 40 of them belong to the Blue Party, and 30 belong to the Red Party.
- We need to divide this state into seven districts (Redistricting). Each district will send one representative to the House to represent the people (Reapportionment) . We want the representation to be proportional.
- And just our luck, they live evenly with the Blues on one side of the state and the Reds on the other.
- Because our citizens live in a neatly ordered grid, it's easy to draw seven lengthy districts three for the Reds , and four for the Blues.
- Depending on who controls the state Government these districts could be easily Gerrymandered for a particular political party. They would just have to manipulate the shape and keep the census in mind
- There should be ten people in each section just didn't have enough room to fit them all there.
- This is just a proportional representation.
