How to play elect.horse
The goal
The horse is up for re-election and set to lose. You draw the districts, so draw them so the horse wins the most seats anyway. That's gerrymandering, and it's the whole game.

Drawing districts
- Tap or drag across touching hexes to build a district. Tap further away and the land between fills in.
- Drag over another district to take its hexes. Tap a hex in a district to drop it.
- Ponds aren't land. Reset clears the map.
Tip: empty grass counts for nothing, so use it to join voters up.
Counting the votes
- Every district holds the same number of voters.
- Most voters in a district takes its seat. A tie gives it to nobody.
- Once every voter is in a district, call the election. The horse wins with more seats than any rival.
**The trick:**pack rival voters into a few districts they win by a mile, and crack the rest so they fall just short everywhere else.
