The first setence uses "United States" twice. I think this is redudant and will omit the second use. The sentence will now read: "Gerrymandering in the United States is the practice of rearranging the boundaries of electoral districts, where it has been practiced since the founding of the country to strengthen the power of particular political interests within legislative bodies."

Section 2.1.1. paragraph 6 has no citation and is unfounded. In the interest of keeping this article credible I will remove this paragraph. Other editors can resubmit it with a citation or [citation needed].

In Section 2.2.2. Paragraph 5 I will add "In his dissenting opinion in LULAC v. Perry, Justice John Paul Stevens quoted Bill Ratliffe, former Texas lieutenant governor and member of the Texas state senate saying, 'political gain for the Republicans was 110% the motivation for the plan.'"
