Same town. Same voters. Watch how the person holding the map-pencil decides who wins — before a single vote is cast.
Meet Gridville: 25 voters on a map. ● 15 love the Blueberry party and ◼ 10 love the Tangerine party.
Gridville elects 5 town council members — one from each district (a district is just a group of 5 neighbors who share one seat). Whoever has more voters inside a district wins that seat.
Your job: color the map into 5 districts of exactly 5 connected voters each. Sounds innocent… until you realize the same 25 people can produce totally different winners depending on where you draw the lines. That trick has a name: gerrymandering — and you're about to learn it by doing it.
