The new gerrymandering (or cherry-picking) is the database algorithms they use to scrub voter registrations. Used expertly by the Florida establishment to capture that razor-thin margin Bush needed in 2000. There might be some more recent examples in the news.

Gerrymanering is how scumbag liberals and conservatives get elected at the expense of educated and intelligent moderates. That is its only purpose - to subvert the American political system for the benefit of those who make the worst politicians.
