Today, Public Policy Professor John Rennie Short published an article in The Conversation explaining gerrymandering and offering four reasons why it has gotten worse in the past twenty years. Prof. Short explains why politicians gerrymander districts, the role of technology in supporting it, how the Supreme Court continues to embolden it, and a prognosis for the coming years.
Prof. Short's article can be found here at The Conversation, a platform for academics and researchers to contribute to public discourse.
