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.

We need to get rid of maps altogether and go with proportional representation. Why does my state give republicans 8 reps and democrats 1 rep when the split is more like 48%-35%? There’s no map that will give 5 to republicans, 3 to democrats and 1 to an independent. That is what is fair.
