The issue of the United States' aging electoral systems and concerns about gerrymandering and other anti-democratic practices has been a subject of debate and scrutiny for some time.
Gerrymandering refers to the manipulation of electoral district boundaries to favor one political party or group over another, often resulting in distorted representation and undermining the principles of fair and equal representation.
Gerrymandering can lead to the creation of "safe" districts for one party, where the outcome of an election is almost predetermined. This can result in representatives who are less responsive to the broader electorate and more aligned with extreme or partisan views. Advocates argue that such reforms are necessary to ensure a more representative and inclusive democracy and to mitigate the negative consequences associated with gerrymandering and other anti-democratic practices.
