Our favorite videographer is back! This time Mr. Grey is here to educate us on gerrymandering, as well as some possible solutions to this unpopular electoral reality.
In this video Mr. Grey poses 4 possible reform proposals to solve our gerrymandering problem:
- A Bi-Partisan Redistricting Committee
- An Independent Redistricting Commission
- The Shortest Split-Line Method of Redistricting
(Be sure to watch the bonus video on this topic! Fascinating stuff!) - Proportional Gerrymandering
