Gerrymandering is an affront to the core principles of representative democracy. Citizens of all parties must seek to end this abomination in all 50 states.

Districts are already divided based on being equal in population size. They are also gerrymandered into wierd shapes to suit various interests - either to cram everyone in one particular voting bloc into one district, so the rest of the districts don't have to deal with them or to divide them up so they don't have a chance at a minority in any districts, depending on who you are trying to screw out of what!
