Fellow graduate student Jonathan Parris and I created this puzzle game designed to teach about voting district line drawing and the problem with Gerrymandering in the U.S.
In particular, we wanted to focus on how, regardless of which party is in power, Gerrymandering is a dubious and technically illegal practice that continues to happen and undermines popular voting outcomes.
The puzzle is constructed from a wooden puzzle basin and three variations of puzzle pieces: best-case scenario for Republicans, best-case scenario for Democrats, and current scenario of line drawing.
