The gerrymandering that has been done in recent years has been conducted with surgical precision, thanks to technology, and a gerrymandering wizard in the Carolinas who recently passed away.
In North Carolina, for example, Republicans cast 50.3% of Congressional votes---and won 10 out of 13 Congressional seats!
This is not what our founding fathers envisioned. and is obviously a blatantly brazen and dishonest attempt to disenfranchise voters, primarily in cities, primarily voters of color.
There is a desperate need to take the drawing of election districts out of the hands of either party--and put in the hands of an independent commission that can use technology to set up the fairest districts that provide the fairest representation for all. Democrats in the U.S., after living with Republican treachery since the 2010 census, support this fair solution. In my state, we are trying to get a ballot issue passed to apportion districts using this fair solution.
Because of this, voters in nine states have been astute enough to oust Republican governors from their statehouses--due to things like gerrymandering and, in Kansas for example, wrecking state economies and education systems through budget and tax cuts.
These new Democratic governors are going to make sure that after the 2020 census, districts will be more fairly drawn.
