Pork Barreling
Definition: When the government spends money for localized projects to greatly benefit a representative's district Example: Frank Lautenberg served the Senate for over 30 years and in June of 2013 he passed away from viral pneumonia. To repay his family for his great services, a bill was passed to pay his widow $174,000, despite Lautenberg being one of the richest members of Congress and being worth more than $59 million in 2011. |
Ohio's Congressional Districts
What is gerrymandering? Gerrymandering is the process of giving one political party an advantage over another political party by redrawing district lines. Why is Ohio a swing state? Ohio is a swing state because it is not a democratic or republican ruled state. There are no guarantees for a certain democratic or republican candidate because both candidates have a reasonable chance to win Ohio's support, it truly depends on the promises of the candidates. |
