Gerrymandering

States all across the country allow their legislature to redraw district maps so as to provide the majority party with election advantages.  Both parties do it when they have the majority.  The question is, why are they allowed to?  It creates a rigged election.  It makes many voter's votes worthless.  It essentially disenfranchises US citizens from the voting process.  What could be more un-American?

Voting districts should be drawn along county lines, and left that way.  It is the only fair way to ensure that all of a state's citizens can have their vote count.

Here is a map of the NC confessional districts.  I defy you to tell me how they make any sense beyond ensuring a rigged election?
