Here are the solutions to the "Gerrymandering Game." In the
upper map, you can see how district lines are drawn to "pack" most
of the Democratic voters into a central district. Thus, On election day,
one Democrat and three Republicans are likely to be elected. In a city
that is 56 percent Democrat and 44 percent Republican, these districts
would give the majority party only 25 percent of the seats, while the
minority party would get three out of four seats.

In the second map, you can see how district lines divide Republican
supporters evenly among the four districts. Thus, though a sizeable minority
in the city (44 percent), they will probably see no Republicans elected.
Democratic voters with a small numerical majority will get all the
representation.

Of course, politicians know that Gerrymandering is more than a mere
game. Every ten years, after the census, the redistricting process begins
anew, and each time, parties who play a role in the districting process
work to create "safe districts" for their candidates. This
problem cannot be avoided using Single-Member Districts and Winner-Take-All
voting � only elections using Multi-Member Proportional Districts
can eliminate the problem of Gerrymandering and assure election results
that accurately reflect the views of voters.
