Why political gerrymandering in the south will likely continue to consider voters?

Political gerrymandering is when people draw map boundaries to help their side win more elections.

Imagine you're playing a game with your friends where you get to pick which teams are bigger or smaller, that's kind of like what happens in the South when they redraw voting areas.

In the South, people have been doing this for a long time because they want to make sure their favorite group stays in power. It’s like when you and your friend both get to pick who is on which team, if you choose carefully, you can make your team stronger.

When they redraw voting areas, they try to put people who vote the same way together or spread out those who disagree. That makes it easier for their group to win more seats in elections.

It’s not magic, just smart planning with a map and some voting rules. And since people like keeping things the way they are, this trick will probably keep happening for a while!
