Gerrymandering is an ongoing threat to fair elections, yet many Americans still don’t know the severity of the threat it poses. Disenfranchising voters and preventing competition in general elections are only a fraction of the sweeping negative effects that manipulating electoral boundaries can cause.

Using the 37th U.S. House district in Austin as an example of the nationwide issue of gerrymandering, the nonpartisan voting rights advocacy group RepresentUs is launching its “Gerry’s Partisan Pizza” campaign. Showing us a pizza delivery service that only serves those that live within the gerrymandered borders of a voting district, the initiative is showcasing the inconsistencies of the process, as well as what can be lost when voter accessibility is threatened.
