The resulting district is known as a gerrymander. WHERE DID THE TERM GERRYMANDER COME FROM?: The word gerrymander (originally written Gerry-mander) was used for the first time in the Boston Gazette on March 26, 1812. The word was created in reaction to a redrawing of Massachusetts state senate election districts under the then-governor Elbridge Gerry (1744–1814). In 1812, Governor Gerry signed a bill that redistricted Massachusetts to benefit his Democratic-Republican Party. When mapped, one of the contorted districts in the Boston area was said to resemble the shape of a salamander. Electoral College by States: Each district provides electoral college votes during election. Among all workers, 11.3 percent, or 14.4 million were union members in 2012, compared to 11.8 percent (14.8 million) in 2011. In 2012, private sector unionization was 6.6 percent; the public sector rate was 35.9 percent. Comparing last year's median weekly earnings for full-time workers reveals a 27 percent union premium Total 13.6 percent Men 17.3 percent Women 9.1 percent White 10.9 percent Black 17.3 percent Hispanic 23.1 percent On March 1, 2013 . GM paychecks put almost $½ B into local economies much of that in Michigan because of a UAW negotiated Profit Share. Rick Snyder never even said thank you. Q & A Thank You! .
