Stop it, you guys.

YSK that Gerrymandering allows politicians to determine election outcomes by changing electoral maps. In most western countries, it's illegal. Gerrymandering is common in the United States in c/youshouldknow@lemmy.world

Well, it's a complicated issue. Let's assume there's a state where all but an area of 10 blocks votes for candidate X. If that area happens to be split between several cities, the people living there are SOL as their vote is basically useless. Gerrymandering allows them to have a say in what goes on. But yes, as with everything, corruption ruins it.

I was quite young and stupid when that happened but, even then, I remember being very confused by people right wingers being openly anti-anti-fascism.
