How can gerrymandering impact legislative elections

Gerrymandering only directly effects the House of Representatives and, as is pointed out, Maine and Nebraska’s Electoral College delegations. There have been proposals to have Michigan, Pennsylvania, and Virginia decide the Electoral College delegations in the same manner as Maine and Nebraska.

Explanation:

The shakuhachi is a wind instrument very popular in the east and very similar to the European recorder. It is made of bamboo and has a very simple appearance, with only a mouthpiece and 5 holes, but it has a great versatility which allows it to be used in many different genres. This versatility occurs thanks to its deep and raw sound that can be divided into three octaves and five-note scale.
