Malia Jones explains how packing and cracking are used to gerrymander districts.

Wisconsin is at the center of a case that was heard before of the U.S. Supreme Court. The plaintiffs in case, Gill v. Whitford, contend that Wisconsin's legislative maps are a product of partisan gerrymandering and are unconstitutional. In this interview excerpt, Malia Jones of the UW-Applied Population Laboratory discusses packing and cracking, two methods commonly used to gerrymander districts.
