A political cartoon depicts a Republican state legislature elephant brandishing a giant crayon labeled gerrymandering while rejecting nonpartisan redistricting. The image responds to ongoing fights over congressional maps following the 2020 census. Lawmakers in multiple states moved to draw new districts in 2021, often along partisan lines. Critics argued the process favored incumbents and reduced competitive seats. The cartoon highlights resistance to independent commissions that some states adopted to limit such influence.
