      "The Civil War was a time of racial divisions, technological disruption ... increasing inequality, and deep, deep partisanship." @SamWangPhD notes that we're currently living in a time with all of those factors once again.

      Attempted fixes to gerrymandering have included: federal courts, state courts and New Federalism. The fundamental problem? The system has to want to be fixed.pic.twitter.com/kQJysUkcYo

          The next step: @SamWangPhD and his team are gathering data about redistricting in 4 states in hopes to expand to all 50 states (along with D.C. and Puerto Rico) by 2021 to eventually achieve open, public access.

          Existing public and private databases contain many errors due to things like little quality control and lost data. Because of this, @SamWangPhD says, "at some point, it needs to be powered by citizens."pic.twitter.com/eX5UY7xZLJ
