Gerrymandering versus Representing Everyone In Good Faith Under the Constitution
Join Professor Keith Gaddie of University of Oklahoma for an in-depth discussion on gerrymandering and available solutions.
Gerrymandering is one of the "foot stomp" phrases of American politics. Everyone knows it is bad, and as a result we blame all the ills of the political world on gerrymandering. In this seminar, we'll talk about forms of gerrymandering, its consequences, the limits of legal challenges, and what other solutions are available to the American public to get better legislative representation and tame the mapmakers.
