In 1812, Governor of Massachusetts Elbridge Gerry introduced gerrymandering to the U.S. political system when he redrew a district in Essex County. Since then, gerrymandering has been utilized by political parties across the U.S. to gain advantage in elections. Despite being a problem for over two centuries, little to nothing has been done to rectify gerrymandering, although there may potentially be multiple solutions that could suffice. A potential solution to gerrymandering would be allowing third-party, non-partisan organizations to draw the district lines. These agencies would adhere to rules required for districts, like the need for a district to be contiguous and equally populated. One potential problem with this solution would be that although the agencies are less partisan, they are not entirely unbiased and can be susceptible to outside influence. Thus, another solution would be to use a computer algorithm to generate districts. The programmer of the algorithm would give the districts parameters like the aforementioned need to be contiguous and have equal populations. Then the program would create districts fitting these criteria. A benefit of this solution is that the computer will draw the most efficient solutions and this leaves politicians to focus on other tasks. The possibility of glitches or computational errors combined with its unprecedented nature may hold this solution from being seriously considered by state governments. For almost as long as the country has existed, gerrymandering has been a serious issue threatening our democracy. In a democracy, voters choose their politicians, but through gerrymandering, politicians can choose their voters. The ideals we hold as a country and as a democracy are threatened by the continued existence of gerrymandering, thus states should consider potential solutions with the utmost importance.
