ignored. stand up and fight back. now is it time to rock the vote. we will rock the vote! there s an increasing awareness these gerrymandering techniques have made our elections effectively meaningless. and i think that helps fuel a cynicism and low voter turn out. it fuels a distrust in the democratic process and people are fed up with that. walk together. i think gerrymandering poses a long term threat to our democracy. if you look at the distance that continues to grow between our elected officials and the people they represent, the growing ties between elected officials and special interest. that leads us to a place where a small minority could really dictate the kind of policies that this great nation pursues.
