the process of gerrymandering and how it affects electoral competition in the United States.
Electoral competition is the bedrock of democracy. Yet of Texas’s 38 congressional seats (the members that Texas sends to the US House of Representatives in Washington, DC), only 3 seats (maximum) are competitive (in reality, it’s probably more like 1). It is all but impossible for 35 of Texas’s members of Congress to lose their seats owing to a process known as gerrymandering. This process is exacerbated by people self-clustering into politically like-minded communities. Note u must use these 5 sources and site them
