That might be a little difficult since Gerrymandering goes all the way back to the early 1800's !! ...and more recently, it's happening all across America by both Democrats and Republicans... BUT, I don't think ANY state is worse than what the Virginia Democrats have proposed (which will probably be overturned as "UNCONSTITUTIONAL"), but where they tried to COMPLETELY SILENCE 49% of Virginia Voters (actually something like 45% of Virginia voters)... and will FAIL !!
Virginia, tried to give 90% of the states Representatives to the Democrats, when the actual vote totals were almost exactly 50/50 (51% to 49% actually) !
WHAT do you say we just DO AWAY with Gerrymandering NATION WISE? ...and pass a law where the states Representatives are broken up BASED on the "Dem/Rep/Ind" Voter totals... to the nearest percent? So... (States Total Reps.)/(Percentage of Legal Dem/Rep/Ind Votes)? It do it ANY other way is SCREWING the American voter !!
BUT, I don't think Democrats would do it... because they are STILL getting more representatives than they should... and they KNOW it !!
