Gerrymandering

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

Research conducted by 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.
