60 Years-of- Political- gerrymandering - looks-likes
According to the writing it states the following: Pennsylvania and New York have lost congressional seats over time. But Pennsylvania's gerrymandering scores have risen steadily, while
new York's peaked around the 98th Congress and have been declining ever since. What does this mean? it means states can actually control the extent of gerrymandering. Take New York, for example.
It's the one state among the eight that has shown a meaningful decrease in the level of gerrymandering across multiple congressional terms. New York also has set up an independent advisory commission that recommends congressional state redistricting plans to the state legislature. This commission was set up in 1978, and shortly thereafter the level of gerrymandering in the state peaked and has been declining ever since.
Ans. There seems to be an imbalance as to districts in NYC which have over the last twenty plus years shifted from political balance becoming an imbalance, One political party obtains the opportunity to win. we did not vote on this it is up to the voters to gain momentum, and yet every time redistricting arrives it seems to outweigh the positive. gerrymandering as are Pennsylvania & New York gives indication this time a Pennsylvania is now balancing to a new 21st century outcome. Within NYC there seem to be a drop due to the political power play we have witnessed. Why because Politicians have become fearful of the consequences of injustice, fraud, greed and the new wave of placing their objective in a non compliant objective. Politics is a dirty game and at the end gerrymandering redistricting comes on top.
