The redistricting game!

[Fellfrosch]

One of the weird, highly corrupt aspects of the American government is that elected officials get to draw the borders of voting districts, thus allowing themselves to decide with almost certainty which party will win. A congressman in California is trying to change that system, at least in California, by giving the redistricting power to a bipartisan group. That has problems of its own, but we'll ignore them for now--far more interesting are the methods this guy is using to persuade voters: he's had some guys at USC create a redistricting video game to show how powerfully it can affect an election. Plus, the game's pretty fun.
