X5064: How to Legally Rig Elections! The Beauty & Bitterness of American Gerrymandering in Splash Spring 2025 (Mar. 02, 2025)
Who will succeed in rigging the Splash election in their favor? In this class, we will learn about the political practice of gerrymandering -- the slicing and dicing of congressional districts that allows politicians to "rig" elections in their favor and disadvantage their opponents. We will explore a little history, take a look at gerrymandering in practice, and explore ways to stop this legal (but viciously unfair) mechanism harming our Republic. Along the way, every student will put on their politician shoes and practice gerrymandering in a friendly competition.
