In round 1, you make the population equal in each district. You then submit it to the legislature for approval, the governor for the signature, and the courts for challenges
In round 2, you do a partisan gerrymandering, where you make it so someone of the opposing party will get ousted in the next election. You then submit it to the legislature for approval, the governor for the signature, and the courts for challenges
In round 3, you do a bipartisan gerrymandering, where you make sure all the parties have at least 55% representation in their district. You then submit it to the legislature for approval, the governor for the signature, and the courts for challenges
In round 4, not only do you protect the incumbents, but you have to comply with the Voting Rights Act, where you ensure that blacks are fairly represented. You then submit it to the legislature for approval, the governor for the signature, and the courts for challenges
In round 5, you do population equality again, but this time it gets approved by an independent commission before going to the legislature for approval. If the legislature votes no, the courts can still approve it
To make it easy, you only have to play with 4 districts in each round (except round 4, which has 5 districts). This game is fun and informative, what did you think?
