Partisan Gamesmanship, Now For PC's

If you're a political junkie and want to get a bit of insight into how Congressional districts are drawn, have I got a game for you.

USC's Annenberg Center for Communication, Annenberg School for Communication, and School of Cinematic Arts have debuted The Redistricting Game. The flash game helps novices understand just how tricky and partisan the redistricting process can be.

In addition, the game provides details on a variety of reform measures -- including a playable version of Rep. John Tanner's (D-TN) "Fairness and Independence in Redistricting Act" (H.R. 543) -- as well as features that allow players to get involved in the public discourse: dialoging with fellow citizens online; spreading the word; writing their congressperson directly from the game.
