How politicians rig elections, explained in 2 minutes

By Ezra Klein

Most Americans think elections are rigged in favor of incumbents, and they're right. Part of the problem is that, unlike most other countries, we let politicians choose their voters. Vox's Ezra Klein explains how gerrymanderingworks, and how we might be able to fix it.

Help us reach our year-end goal

In a recent reader survey, we were delighted to hear that people value Vox because we help them educate themselves and their families, spark their curiosity, explain the moment, and make our work approachable.

We believe that everyone deserves access to clear, factual information that helps them educate themselves on the issues of the day and the things that pique their curiosity. That's why we're committed to keeping Vox free.

Reader gifts enable us to offer free articles, videos, and podcasts to everyone, while relying less on advertising. In service of that mission, we're aiming to add 3,000 new gifts from readers by December 31.Will you help us reach our goal, and continue to keep Vox free, by making a gift today?

Yes, I'll give $120/year
