Irregular Districts for US House
Elections
Maps and demographic data reveal the cutting and
pasting of neighborhoods and voters throughout the USA.
Politicians gerrymander election districts to create "safe seats"
for themselves and their friends. Voters discover on election day
they have no real choice, only one party's nominee ever had a chance
because the district's boundaries were drawn to benefit that
party.
A note on the Census' demographic categories:
"Hispanics" can be black or white; each district's Asians plus
blacks plus whites adds up to 100%.
