## Gerrymandering is the manipulation of the boundaries of an electoral area and its districts so as to favor one party or class

This is a major problem in the US right now and the catalyst for many lawsuits

## Interesting question from a viewer: Can Algorithms Fix Gerrymandering & Biased Redistricting?

The viewer cites a Carnegie Mellon algorithm. I'd be interested to hear what Steemians think about algorithms like this one which would potentially remove the ideological bias from how districts are drawn
