Analysis of gerrymandering, the act of manipulating geographic and political data on maps to make districts more favorable to partisans. I go through details on how the process works, the methods used to change the maps, and the challenges associated with the manipulation of votes. It's much more complicated than simply drawing silly shapes to add or subtract voters from districts. This video is most definitely unbiased from a partisan perspective, and there is absolutely no discussion whatsoever of policies or political issues, other than the issue of gerrymandering itself. This is a serious issue that I feel needs to be discussed from an intellectual point of view and not from the political media perspective which usually drives the narrative.
