A presentation on how gerrymandering affects our elections. Redistricting, also known as gerrymandering, happens every 10 years after each national census when Pennsylvania politicians divide the state into electoral boundaries based on population. Politicians try to maximize the wasted votes for the opposing party while minimizing its own when drawing these boundary lines. This has the effect of diluting your vote.  Pennsylvania is ranked 5th from LAST among all states in the Country for electoral fairness. Berks County is one of the most gerrymandered Districts in the State. 

Welcome and Introduction by Dr. Steve B Lem, Associate professor & Chairperson, Dept. of Political Science & Public Administration Kutztown University

Speakers: Senator Judy Schwank / Berks County 11th District  “Legislating in a Polarized Environment”

I wanted to thank you again for the opportunity you have created for our kids.  This experience is more than the TV show.  Eight students who probably never would have talked to each other were excited to execute a plan. Know that you make a difference.
