Proposed map gerrymanders Wyandotte Co. into oblivion

Politicians do a lot of cheesy things, but gerrymandering is near the top of the list.

Under a Republican-sponsored plan, Wyandotte County would move to a mostly rural congressional district that touched both the Missouri and Colorado borders. The new boundaries would dilute the voting power of Democratic-leaning Wyandotte County, a tactic known as “cracking.”
