Eli5 gerrymandering and how it works so successfully?
In: 1
In the spirit of explaining like we’re five, I’d like to point you to this interactive gerrymandering game, which will help you get an intuitive feel for how and why this works: [http://gametheorytest.com/gerry/game/](http://gametheorytest.com/gerry/game/)
You’ll notice that despite there often being more of one color than the other, if you’re drawing the lines, you can cause huge differences in which team controls more districts.
Gerrymandering in real life works the same way but with a team of experts, computers, and a bunch of voting records and other indicators of how people will vote.
