CGPGrey Explains Gerrymandering

Our favorite videographer is back! This time Mr. Grey is here to educate us on gerrymandering, as well as some possible solutions to this unpopular electoral reality.



In this video Mr. Grey poses 4 possible solutions to solve our gerrymandering problem:

• A Bi-Partisan Redistricting Committee
• An Independent Redistricting Commission
• The Shortest Split-Line Method of Redistricting
  (Be sure to watch the bonus video on this topic! Fascinating stuff!)
• Proportional Gerrymandering

Blog Post Assignment:

• Choose one of CGPGrey's four gerrymandering solutions and defend it in a detailed and well developed blog post.
• Your post must include information from the video, the homework readings, as well as your experience playing the ReDistricting Game.
• As always pictures, videos, links, etc will add to your grade!

Remember a blog post is not an essay, but it is certainly more than a paragragh!

I understand that it has been a little while since the last time I have asked you to post to the blog, but remember that the purpose of these blog posts is to engage your classmates in a discussion outside of the classroom. Remember politics and life continue outside the classroom. Therefore, our discussion must continue as well! Happy posting!!
