What's going on today that we should know about?
Wiki:
Gerrymandering is a practice intended to establish political advantage for a particular party or group by manipulating district boundaries. The resulting district is known as a Gerrymander; however, that word can also refer to the process. Two principal tactics are used in gerrymandering: "Cracking", (diluting the voting power of the opposing party's supporters across the districts) and "Packing", (concentrating on the opposing party's voting power in one district to reduce their voting power in other districts.)
Politicians have been "redrawing" electoral districts for years. This has undoubtedly affected your vote on anything and everything in this country. As of two days ago, the Pennsylvania Supreme Court is ruling to set limits on how much politicians can get away with this. Electoral maps could be completely revamped by the end of this month. Pay attention.
