How to Rig an Election: the Legal Way  by The Week Staff.

Gerrymandering is a term that describes the intentional clumping of a certain party's voters to a particular area, causing an easy win for the other party. Eighty of a hundred thousand voters would probably be put in two districts out of six, leaving only twenty thousand for the other four, according to The Week staff.
I don't agree with this at all, but I also don't think that it is ever going to change. My opinion is that politicians are inherently selfish and lie all the time, but that is what makes government work! The corruption of one side balances the corruption of the other. And since it will never happen that both sides will coexist without corruption, this is as close as we will get to equality.
Gerrymandering should be outlawed, yes, but since those corrupted politicians are the ones that would have to make the laws, it will never happen.  Never! It is the same as politicians voting on their own salaries. It isn't right, but it won't change.
