Gerrymandering, a politically motivated re-districting of voters to attempt to ensure support from either Republicans and Liberal Democrats. The pamphlet looks to see who is actually drawing the lines and what a fair and just redistricting process should resemble. Sharing this knowledge through this poster makes the process more transparent and therefore more accountable.
