That was Florida in 2012, but gerrymandering has been going on for a long time, since at least 1812, when Massachusetts governor Elbridge Gerry signed into law a map that was drawn into a political cartoon as a monstrous, dragonesque salamander, and thus was born the gerrymander.
Questo è accaduto in Florida nel 2012, ma il gerrymandering esiste da tanto tempo: almeno dal 1812, quando Elbridge Gerry, il governatore del Massachussets, trasformò in legge una mappa disegnata in un fumetto politico come una mostruosa salamandra, dando così origine al gerrymandering.
