[Ads-l] Quote of the Year candidate

[James A. Landau]

I have the following quote in several places.  Obama used it in his 2016 State of the Union address (https://www.vox.com/2016/1/12/10758738/obama-state-of-the-union-2016-gerrymandering)

"We have to end the practice of drawing our congressional districts so that politicians can pick their voters and not the other way around."

https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2014/oct/09/virginia-gerrymandering-voting-rights-act-black-voters
Thursday 9Oct 2014 in the US online edition of The Guardian
<quote> In the 21st century, voters don’t pick their elected officials; politicians pick their voters.<end quote>

Not quite Quote of the YEAR.
