Gerrymandering

"Take New York, for example.  It is the one state among the eight that has shown a meaningful decrease in the level of gerrymandering across multiple congressional terms.  New York has also set up and independent advisory commission that recommends congressional and state redistricting plans to the state legislator.  This commission was set up on 1978, and shortly thereafter the level of gerrymandering in the state peaked and has been declining ever since."  

          This article seems to be a follow up from Ingraham's initial article regarding gerrymandering, in which he explains what this very convenient term means.  In this article he proceed to explain that gerrymandering can actually be limited if the states desire it.  But come on! lets be honest here- if a political party is on the advantaging side on the spectrum why would they want to vote against it?                 Being a New Yorker and keeping up to date with what is going on with our society and political system, is is actually very motivating to know that New York has had such decrease in gerrymandering.  Though positive, there is still A LOT to be done since unless we take matters into our own hands neither party will really be taking drastic steps towards ending such negative aspect of USA political system.
