Description

Keep track of your thoughts and ideas while also learning about why gerrymandering sucks.
With a sleek design and durable binding, this practical journal combines generous space with outlines of absurd-looking U.S. House districts from across the country. Complete with facts about gerrymandering -- what it is, how it began, who does it -- you'll learn about why certain federal, state, and local elections are predetermined before they happen (and how this cheating can be stopped).
With useful information drawn from OMG WTF Does the Constitution Actually Say?, this journal features:

  • Full-color illustrated flexi binding
  • Explanations of why some districts are so oddly shaped
  • Lines and blank interior pages, printed on wood-free paper
  • Ways you can fight gerrymandering at the federal, state, and local levels
