Gerrymandering is the biggest obstacle to genuine democracy in the United States. So why is no one protesting? The Washington Post
This is the best explanation of gerrymandering you will ever see. The Washington Post
Dwayne Heisler, representing Fair Districts PA, http://www.fairdistrictspa.com/ spoke at the February 28 meeting of the Bedford County Democrats.
The effects of gerrymandering can be extreme when one political party controls all of the branches of government, as Pennsylvania Republicans did in 2010, during the reapportionment process,. Pennsylvania has almost a million more registered Democrats than Republicans, but the effects of gerrymandering has resulted in Republicans holding 13 of Pennsylvania’s 18 U.S. Congressional seats, 34 of 50 PA Senate seats, and 81 of 203 PA House seats. Gerrymandering builds inequities into our representation insulating many elected officials in safe districts from accountabilit
