Came across this interactive redistricting tool that allows the user to choose a state and select one of fair, Republican gerrymander, Democratic gerrymander, or compact by shape and see how congressional district boundaries change. I think it is fun and interesting to choose among these selections and think about the impact that gerrymandering will have on congressional majorities in the near future (as Dave Wasserman ponders in this twitter thread about Florida).
This blog serves my Congress course (Claremont McKenna College Government 101) for the spring of 2024.
ABOUT THIS BLOG
I shall post videos, graphs, news stories, and other material there. We shall use some of this material in class, and you may review the rest at your convenience. You will all receive invitations to post to the blog. (Please let me know if you do not get such an invitation.) I encourage you to use the blog in these ways:
There are only two major limitations: no coarse language, and no derogatory comments about people at the Claremont Colleges.
To post questions or comments about the readings before we discuss them in class;
To follow up on class discussions with additional comments or questions.
To post relevant news items or videos.
