Vise also made the following statement about gerrymandering in Alabama in his withdrawal letter. Alabama is a conservative state, but gerrymandering has manipulated the boundaries of legislative districts to eliminate any semblance of competition. Such lopsided districts discourage candidate recruiting, voter engagement, competitive elections and responsive elected representatives."[2]
