BRACK: Gerrymandering still rampant, with a long history in our country

By Elliott Brack, editor and publisher | Gerrymandering. It’s a menace to democracy, awkward, unnatural, outlandish, usually circuitous and often a patchwork, difficult to envision. Right now, however, it’s within the law, and its outcomes are hard to understand. I’m talking about some of the nation’s 435 Congressional districts.

PLOUSSARD: Calls for end of partisan gerrymandering in Georgia, nation

y Jeff Ploussard | Representative democracy and capitalism are two ideas that have made our country a more perfect union. Competition is an essential ingredient in healthy capitalism. The innovations spawned by competition have allowed businesses to grow, prosper and create jobs. The breakup of monopolies has led to lower prices for consumers. Conversely, the system by which we elect our state and federal representatives has become increasingly monopolistic and undemocratic because of a practice called gerrymandering.
