    The Geography of Salamander Maps: All Is not as it Seems

    The article discusses the origins of the term 'gerry-mander' from 1812, referencing Massachusetts's Essex South District, and examines modern examples like North Carolina's 12th district and Louisiana's 6th district. It highlights how oddly shaped legislative districts do not always indicate gerrymandering and explores the Supreme Court's 2026 decision in Louisiana v. Callais, which limits judicial ability to challenge racially discriminatory maps.
