Gerrymandering | Crash Course Government and Politics

In this episode, we'll discuss a topic that makes voters and politicians alike angry - gerrymandering. Gerrymandering is the process in which voting districts are redrawn in a way to favor one party during elections. As you'll see, this is why election outcomes during U.S. census years, which tend to be the time districts are redrawn, are a big deal.
