A Loss for Gerrymandering

Posted November 02, 2010 in Illinois

Illinois’ 17th is one of the ugliest gerrymandered districts in America. It was carved out by Democrats in 2001 to connect union-heavy manufacturing towns such as the Quad Cities with the urban centers like Springfield.

Google Maps and the Best Election Resource of 2010

Posted October 26, 2010 in Google Maps, House, Map of the Day

Bush shared in 2006. “I kinda like to look at the ranch.”  Four years later, Google Maps is still the best resource for ranch-gazing from Washington, but now the site has a fantastic new feature that will be far more valuable to those in politics [...]
