The practice of gerrymandering has been around since the founding of the United States, and has always been at least to some degree a partisan affair. While racial gerrymandering is unconstitutional, the U.S. Supreme Court has refrained ruling on the constitutionality of partisan gerrymandering, except in the most extreme cases. But, the court is currently considering the case of Gill v. Whitford that could change the way redistricting happens across the country. We’re joined by Pamela Goodman, president of the League of Women Voters of Florida, to get a history lesson on gerrymandering, learn more about the current Supreme Court case, and explore how other countries determine electoral district boundaries.
