About this game
In Gerrymap you practice gerrymandering: drawing maps to decide the outcome of elections.
A state has four districts. In most elections, its vote is split equally. Each party should have two districts, right?
NO! If we control redistricting, we pack the enemy party into just one district! This is the art of gerrymandering.
It's not always so simple. A "dummymander" could give away all your seats in a bad election year. An overly conservative map could make further gains difficult. Also, some areas are very elastic, others are not!
The VRA says you have to create majority-minority districts in some states. As you play on the Democratic side in the campaign, this will force you to pack your voters! And expect to draw a lot of squiggly lines.
Featuring:
A campaign mode with 10 states! Deal with the challenges Southern Democrats faced gerrymandering in 1990.
A sandbox mode with all 48 contiguous US states! 1976-2000 Presidential, Senate and Gubernatorial results for each state. Play around with it!
1990 census data: Race, sex, age, household income, and educational attainment!

Gerrymap 1.2 Beta
Hello Gerryheads and Patriots! Update 1.2 has brought a few changes to the UI, more elections for Sandbox Mode, and other things!But before I get into the details, this update will initially only be available by right clicking Gerrymap in your Steam library, pressing "Properties...", and going to the Betas section, and opt into the beta. Why? I'd like to use the 250 Gerrymap players to make sure I didn't break anything before rolling out the update. And there should always be a fallback. In the future, you will be able to select 1.1, 1.2, 1.3, etc.Anyway the detailsNorth Carolina is slightly easierPrecincts have outlines when zoomed in1976-2000 Gubernatorial, Senatorial, and Presidential elections for all statesThe FINISH MAP popup for checking your progress is now betterThe color palettes have been changed for all categories. In general dark colors are brighterVolume preferences get savedThere is now a button to exit the game (I hope that wasn't the thing keeping people playing...)Other minor UI changesI just remembered I was supposed to make the menu come up when you press ESC.
