Gerrymandering: An undemocratic process


I agree with Cameron’s proposal to eliminate gerrymandering through the implementation of the Split Line Method. In fact, I think any algorithm that eliminates party biases would be a step in the right direction. Gerrymandering is not only unconstitutional, it violates the sanctity of our democracy. As long as the American people fail to speak out  against the crimes committed by our government, we will inadvertently support injustices against minorities. The elimination of gerrymandering could possibly lead to more active participation by the American people, feeling that their vote is actually impactful on the outcome of any given election.
