Gerrymandering harms our democracy. It decreases accountability of representatives to their constituents. We have seen the creep of gerrymandering in New Hampshire redistricting, most notable after 2020 with the Executive Council and State Senate districts. Putting redistricting in the hands of an independent nonpartisan commission is necessary to not only restore public faith in the integrity of our elections but also to be true to our democratic ideals.
