Gerrymandering solutions possible, Forum speaker says

While Wisconsin waits to reargue a gerrymandering case in front of the U.S. Supreme Court, the state should look to examples of better redistricting procedures, like those found in Pennsylvania, California and Iowa, a UW-Madison political science professor argued Wednesday night to an audience of roughly 75 people at the UW-Eau Claire Forum.

Barry Burden, also director of the Elections Research Center, said those three states have each come up with different solutions to the problem of gerrymandering.
