Many are aware that gerrymandering exists and suspect it plays a role in our elections, but its history goes far deeper, and its impacts are far greater, than most realize. In his latest book, Brent Tarter focuses on Virginias long history of gerrymandering to uncover its immense influence on the states politics and to provide perspective on how the practice impacts politics nationally.Offering the first indepth historical study of gerrymanders in Virginia, Tarter exposes practices going back to nineteenth century and colonial times and explains how they protected land owners and slave owners interests. The consequences of redistricting and reapportionment in modern Virginiain effect giving a partisan minority the upper hand in all public policy decisionsbecome much clearer in light of this history.Where the discussion of gerrymandering has typically emphasized political parties control of Congress, Tarter focuses on the state legislatures that determine congressional district lines and, in most states, even those of their own districts. On the eve of the 2021 session of the General Assembly, which will redraw district lines for Virginias state Senate and House of Delegates, as well as for the U.S. House of Representatives, Tarters book provides an eyeopening investigation of gerrymandering and its pervasive effect on our local, state, and national politics and government.
