  • Digital Gerrymandering 24
    00 01 02 03 04 05 06 07 08 09 10 11 12 Policy & Government Digital Gerrymandering Near-future pessimistic scenario Electoral districts have long been shaped and manipulated to the benefit or disadvantage of certain political parties, and as network connectivity becomes a major factor affecting citizens’ quality of life, access to resources, and even the ability to vote, the practice of gerrymandering is translated to the digital realm. Building on the tactics of traditional gerrymandering, some districts are “packed”— incumbent politicians strategically place high-speed internet in a select few districts to consolidate constitu- ents of the opposing party in fewer locales, minimizing their presence in contested districts and thus weakening their ability to sway elections. Other districts, where constituents of the opposing are already concentrated, are “cracked”—incumbent politicians throttle connectivity or undermine the installation and maintenance of network infrastructure in order to disperse their opponents’ vot- ers, diluting their electoral impact. No politician will give up the opportunity to gain an advantage over their rivals, and weaponizing connectivity is a clever (if sinister) way to do just that.
