numbers matter a whole lot to many lawmakers in the house, you would be mistaken. in 2010, republican state legislatures across the nation redrew congressional districts to make them a lock for the gop. and in some cases, just to send a message to the democrats. because that is the beauty, that s the beauty of gerrymandering. instead of the voters getting to pick their leaders, leaders get to pick their voters. when you look at the competitive nature of various congressional districts, it has only gotten easier for most radical republicans to win another term. have you ever wondered why so many districts today look like a flying giraffe, or in the case of state district in upstate new york, abraham lincoln riding a vacuum? well, that s because of the g word, gerrymandering. see, every ten years, districts are adjusted so they are roughly the same size. and that sounds fair, right? nope.
