The mapping technology to detect gerrymanders is expensive

It’s costly but also one of the most effective ways to determine which maps are unrepresentative of their region.

To curb the chances of map manipulation, All On The Line is relying on its team of mapping experts to analyze districts drawn by state legislatures and commissions and determine if the preliminary maps fairly represent the local communities in the area. The mapping technology and expertise necessary to detect gerrymanders is expensive, but it’s one of the most effective ways to determine which maps are unrepresentative.

All On The Line’s mapping team will be instrumental in flagging maps that fail to represent the ethnic, racial, economic, geographic, or other specific communities they’re intended to serve. It’s no secret: When left unsupervised and given the authority to draw district lines, partisan politicians have proven that they will draw districts in a way that favors themselves and their party. “Cracking” and “packing” are two of their primary methods: when politicians split up like-minded communities to dilute their voting power (cracking) or cram communities into a few, select districts to minimize their collective voting power and representation (packing). We must be prepared to hold partisan politicians accountable if they attempt to gerrymander the next decade of maps. The mapping team at All On The Line is an integral part of the plan to restore fairness to our elections and our democracy.
