Gerrymandering is so extreme that there’s now a district that looks like every letter of the alphabet. They really took great pains to choose/eliminate voters. Both parties do it. Graphic from the awesome folks at @representus. ⬆️🇺🇸 pic.twitter.com/XNDwD3Xa4k

Analysis: How do you spell "gerrymandering is bad?" With a font made out of preposterous districts. https://t.co/65Df6tzJWu

"In #NH, the two Congressional districts are not gerrymandered, but the executive council, senate and house districts certainly are." @grayno2 https://t.co/Xk2s6beN5W

Gerrymandering undermines our democracy. That’s why I cosponsored the #ForThePeople Act, which would set up nonpartisan, independent redistrict commissions — aimed at stopping people in power from sabotaging your voice. pic.twitter.com/NL7XGYdoEY

3 of Ohio's districts made the cut for a new font Ugly Gerry. District 12 is "B", District 4 is "G" & District 10 is "R". We ???? that folks across the country detest gerrymandering as much as we do. Thanks to the creators for keeping it in the conversation. https://t.co/LQgeLJLTqe

Meet Gerry, the font created using the shapes of gerrymandered Congressional districts. Brilliant. Also, profoundly dispiriting. https://t.co/hIwwSwPTzw pic.twitter.com/7flDW2R5hn

Attending the launch of the Harvard Data Science Review. Second half of the day is on the mathematics of gerrymandering. Here’s a font made up of tortured districts. pic.twitter.com/J6w1nL1jPM

Hey @UglyGerry , here's the Constitution made appropriately illegible by you. https://t.co/pBul5L6R9A

So, you know it had to happen ???????? pic.twitter.com/qmiLShnnB9
So gerrymandering (one of my favourite words) now has its own font. Can't vouch for whether these are legit US congressional districts but... cool font. https://t.co/EbpkFXqcsr

The Gerrymandered Font: a typeface where every letter is a map of a different gerrymandered American district. When your Congressional districts are so tortured that they literally spell out the alphabet, your democracy might have a problem. https://t.co/WTPVDb8YEm

This Christmas we used @UglyGerry font to share awareness around the fight to end gerrymandering!#HappyHolidays pic.twitter.com/9lNlCDAucA
Remember when someone created a readable font using gerrymandered districts? Let's rewrite history by putting an end to partisan gerrymandering. Voters deserve fair maps. #PassTheVRAA #RestoreTheVRA https://t.co/yt69gQJZ7x
