Gerrymandering

The "Gerrymandering" cartoon was first published in the Boston Weekly Messenger, March 26, 1812.

Research conducted by former Business Development Manager and GIS expert Megan Heckert and Robert Cheetham resulted in a white paper ranking the ten most gerrymandered local and federal districts in the country. This analysis was made possible by Avencia’s Cicero ™ Elected Official Web Services, developed for local governments, unions, businesses, and non-profit political and advocacy organizations to find their local elected officials. The backbone of Cicero’s functionality is a geographic database for local and state legislative districts. There is not an official repository of spatial data on local districts – Avencia obtained the local information for each city individually.
