Ratf**ked

Categories: Politics & Social Sciences

Ratf**ked (2016) by journalist David Daley, former editor-in-chief of Salon, explains how gerrymandering reshaped American elections after the 2010 census. Daley follows REDMAP, the Republican plan to win state legislatures in 2010 and then redraw congressional and state districts using detailed voter data. Traveling to the states involved, he shows how district lines can lock in majorities regardless of how many votes each party wins, and what that means for voters.
