• 00:00:00 In this video, the problems with gerrymandering are explained, and Queen Lion of the Animal Kingdom suggests solutions. One possible solution is to have a politically independent commission of appointed experts or judges to draw the boundaries, but this has problems of being uncompetitive or producing skewed results. Another solution is to let math decide the boundaries, but this has the problem of occasionally producing skewed election results.
