My favorite gerrymandering story was when I learned an ~800 student local college had been split down the middle, so students were in different congressional districts depending on their dorm building.

There is a stretch of US183 in Austin, Texas, which allows you to drive through seven congressional districts in a matter of minutes.

Also see: Nashville, Tennessee

Like your dormroom example, ATX is very progressive.


I live in Austin and, in 2018, I could go west and pass through 4 districts in a few miles. My own one you would exit and re-enter and exit again!

I actually made jigsaw puzzles to advocate against gerrymandering. They were difficult to solve! michaeldnahas.com/doc/jigsaw_puzzle/index.html
