Snapshots of gerrymanders
To go along with an editorial about the "dark art form" of gerrymandering New York legislative districts, NYT has posted a series of interesting/head-slapping maps of bizarrely-drawn districts. Our favorite is probably the upstate Senate district that NYPIRG's Blair Horner calls "Lincoln riding on a vacuum cleaner."

We'd really like you to take part in the conversation here at All Over Albany. But we do have a few rules here. Don't worry, they're easy. The first: be kind. The second: treat everyone else with the same respect you'd like to see in return. Cool? Great, post away. Comments are moderated so it might take a little while for your comment to show up. Thanks for being patient.

Absolutely ridiculous that we allow this crap to happen. Unfortunately if anyone tried to force these districts to be drawn fairly, MoveOn.org would be in here to stop it in a heartbeat. They're really proud of themselves for keeping Gerrymandering in place in California.
