Gerrymandering (Paperback)
impression à la demandeVendeur : Grand Eagle Retail, Bensenville, IL, Etats-Unis
Évaluation du vendeur 5 sur 5 étoiles
Paperback. Etat : new. Paperback. The word "gerrymander" was coined in 1812 from a newspaper cartoon of a district shaped like a salamander, signed by a governor who found the whole thing distasteful and signed it anyway. The practice it names is older than the word - Patrick Henry tried to gerrymander James Madison out of a congressional seat before the Bill of Rights was written. Madison won anyway and went on to draft it himself.Two centuries later, the practice is more sophisticated, more consequential, and more contested than ever.Gerrymandering: Seven Things You Should Know traces the full story - from Elbridge Gerry's salamander to the precision-engineered maps of the post-2010 redistricting cycle - and explains the mechanics, the legal landscape, and the reform efforts that most of the national conversation about gerrymandering manages to miss.The seven things: - The word itself is a joke that stuck. Elbridge Gerry signed a map he disliked, a newspaper published a cartoon, and the English language acquired a word that has outlasted every legal framework designed to contain what it describes.- Both parties invented the modern version. The data-driven, precision-targeted gerrymandering of the past forty years was pioneered by Democrats in California before Republicans systematized it nationally. This is not a one-party sin.- Packing and cracking: two moves, infinite applications. Every gerrymander in American history reduces to two operations - concentrating opponents into as few districts as possible, and splitting their remaining strength across districts where they consistently lose. Understanding the two moves makes everything else legible.- The courts have largely stepped back. In 2019, the Supreme Court ruled that partisan gerrymandering is a political question federal courts cannot address. The thirty-year legal effort to find a judicial solution ended, not with an answer, but with a door closing.- Racial and partisan gerrymandering are legally different things - and the line keeps moving. Federal courts will still strike down maps drawn primarily on racial lines. But in much of the country, race and party are so closely correlated that separating the two motivations is genuinely difficult - and the legal protection for minority communities is narrower than it was a year ago.- The reformers have actually won some significant battles. Independent redistricting commissions now draw maps in more than a dozen states. The Supreme Court has upheld the initiative-based reform model. The tools for analyzing and challenging maps are more accessible than they have ever been.- The problem may be self-correcting in ways nobody planned for. Maps drawn for maximum partisan efficiency are maps drawn close to the edge - and wave elections, demographic shifts, and voter backlash have a way of pushing seats over it.Written for the curious reader who wants to understand the mechanism, not relitigate the argument. No prior knowledge required. No partisan conclusion offered.Part of the I'm No Expert, But series. Curious, a little lost, and taking notes. This item is printed on demand.
