Aim: why does “Gerrymandering” have a massive impact on the democratic process?

Voting Districts The manipulation of voting districts; not always bad… but… Elbridge Gerry, 1812, MA. Not a salamander in this version.

How Gerrymandering Works 10 seatsPop = 10 million

Texas Pop: 26 million 11.5 million Anglos 10.5 million Latinos 3 million African- Americans 1 million Asians & Other 2008: 44% voted for Democrats 32 Congressional districts 23 Republicans 21 White Republicans 2 Latino Republicans 9 Democrats 3 African-American Democrats 4 Latino Democrats 2 White Democrats How do you think the congressional seats are divided up?

Texas Pop: 26 million 11.5 million Anglo Whites 10.5 million Latinos 3 million African- Americans 1 million Other 2008: 44% voted for Democrats 32 Congressional districts 23 Republicans 21 White Republicans 2 Latino Republicans 9 Democrats 3 African-American Democrats 4 Latino Democrats 2 White Democrats Texas just gained two Electoral College votes while New York lost two. Where are the Latinos?

In Texas Anglo Republicans vs. Anglo Democrats = wasted vote. Anglo Republicans vs. African-Americans = excess vote Anglo Republicans vs. Latinos = stacked vote R D Anglos Latinos Af-Amer Asians Latinos should dominate the Texas Democratic Party The unholy alliance?

BTW… recognize these three?
