Welcome to the Sunday Discussion segment! Each week here on Geek Alabama, Sunday Discussion will feature a serious topic that needs to be featured and talked about. You can “discuss” it on your own social media networks as comments are banned here on Geek Alabama.
The gerrymandering wars are on. All over the country, red and blue states are scrambling to redraw their congressional maps ahead of the 2026 midterms. Republicans in Texas, led by President Trump, fired the first shot, but Democrats like Gavin Newsom are eagerly joining them. The result is an arms race between the parties unprecedented in the modern era.
But what if there’s another way? The United States’ system of national elections is extremely unique in two key ways, and any hope of ending gerrymandering runs through reforming both. From proportional representation to expanding Congress by raising the cap on the number of House seats, there are real solutions to the current crisis — if we want them.
