CHAPTER

The Challenges of Gerrymandering and Ideological Sorting

This chapter explores the intricacies of gerrymandering, particularly the trend of self-gerrymandering where individuals cluster ideologically, leading to politically homogenous regions. It critically examines how partisan redistricting affects representation and voter behavior, especially in states like Illinois and Tennessee, while discussing the social dynamics in polarized environments. The speakers emphasize the need for electoral reforms to address these challenges, although they acknowledge that simply changing district lines may not resolve the deeper issues at play.
