Gerrymandering is a good example of both the gall and disrepect our elected representatives show us, citizens and their constituents. See the link for an excellent article on gerrymandering. Make sure to visit the bottom half for a section on districts that didn't even bother with gerrymandering, just went ahead and created incongruous districts! How is THIS even possible, let alone defensible?!
Surprisingly, California fares very well in this discussion, but does have it's exceptions. The U-T apparently doesn't have their excellent print article from today's Sunday paper online yet, but I'll add a link when it becomes available.
