Synopsis

Congressional Districting: The Issue of Equal Representation by Andrew Hacker is a book that discusses the issue of gerrymandering, which is the practice of manipulating the boundaries of political districts to favor one political party or group over another. The book examines the history of this practice and how it has affected the representation of different groups, including minorities and women. It also explores the legal and ethical implications of gerrymandering and proposes solutions to ensure fair and equal representation for all citizens. The author draws on his extensive research and analysis of election data to provide a comprehensive overview of the issue and its impact on American democracy. This book is a valuable resource for anyone interested in understanding the complex and contentious issue of congressional districting and its implications for the future of American politics.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
