Not sure if I'm missing something, but Scott Walker is the current incumbent running for Wisconsin governor against Tony Evers. He doesn't appear to be on the map at all. [[Special:Contributions/162.158.74.27|162.158.74.27]] 00:08, 6 November 2018 (UTC)

"This refers to gerrymandering, a tactic used to re-shape voting district boundaries to make sure one candidate prevails over the other."  It's a bit more nefarious than that.  It's usually done to give one party many narrow wins over another party and then give the other party a few landslide victories.  The net result is one party getting many more representatives than their proportion of votes would suggest.  [[Special:Contributions/172.69.210.52|172.69.210.52]] 21:05, 14 November 2018 (UTC)
