	Description:		Ever wonder why congressional districts are shaped so oddly? The answer is gerrymandering: drawing districts in part to sway election outcomes. State legislators across the nation are redrawing their electoral boundaries. But who, exactly, does gerrymandering benefit? And does it deserve the bad rap it gets? Our panel includes Justin Levitt, a professor at Loyola Law School and former deputy assistant attorney general in the civil rights division of the U.S. Department of Justice, Michael Munger, professor of political science at Duke University, Kelly Ward, interim executive director of the National Democratic Redistricting Committee, and Chris Jankowski, Republican strategist and former executive director of the REDMAP Project at the Republican State Leadership Committee.
