If every state was gerrymandered I’ve heard the GOP would come out ahead permanently. Any truth to that?
Would all red states get on board? They usually don’t.
It depends on who does the gerrymandering. The Dim majority states have made it clear that they suppress Republican representation.
The reasoning is that Blue states have already largely maxed out their gerrymandering ability . Red states have a lot of gerrymandering they could do and come out far ahead of Dems (especially if Supreme Court gets rid of black voting districts )
The real question is : are Republican leaders cowards or not
My guess is that most of them are cowards and will allow Dems to walk all over them
The political divide is between urban America and suburban/rural America. If we could argue that gerrymandering should be outlawed and replaced with a mathematical method of forming district that minimized the district areas and/or perimeters, then the Dems vote would be concentrated in a relatively small number of urban districts where they would receive 80% to 90% of the vote, while all the remaining district would 55% to 60% Republican.
