Many states consider “communities of interest” when drawing their districts. These groups may also have similar legislative interests, meaning they can benefit from common representation in government. But I think this can be an advantage and a disadvantage at the same time because that interest could be what the party is about or what it is trying to stop. But still giving communities the chance to ask questions and give input should be given high consideration since they are the ones who make up the districts. The outcome of whoever wins may not be what everyone voted for, but giving voters the feeling that they matter is what matters. According to the text (Barbour & Wright, 2015, p.195) racial gerrymandering occurs when district lines are drawn to favor or disadvantage one racial or ethnic group, while partisan gerrymandering occurs when districts are drawn to maximize the number of seats in the chambers of a political party. the party can win. Both of these types of gerrymandering serve to benefit one group and harm another group at the same time. Both discriminate, only one is based on race and the other on political party. This is in no way fair and should not be used to get the political party or candidate they want
