The goal is to maximize the effect of supporters’ votes and minimize the effect of opponents’ votes in order to gain or maintain power (in Illinois’s General Assembly). “How drawing jagged lines can impact an election” video by TED-Ed. http://goo.gl/Q5Fr7K *Neither Independent Map Amendment nor any of its participants condone drinking and driving.
