Redistricting Game

A news item written by Mike Musgrove, June 10, 2007 in the Washington Post talks about a game developed by a University of Southern California that makes it simple to learn about redistricting and gerrymandering. The Redistricting Game lets players bend the borders of congressional districts in a series of missions set in fictional states. Protect the incumbents, oust the opposition -- it's amazing what a few mouse-clicks can do. You read about gerrymandering in civics class, but it's much more involving to actually try your hand at it.

Thanks to a modem that moves at the pace of icing sliding off a sheet cake I did not play.
