Is that what the USSC blocked, or did it block gerrymandering?
Both sides do it and it is an extreme violation of our rights.
Redistricting now basically IS gerrymandering and has become entirely a political tool. It’s all about moving the district boundaries to get the most politically favorable population.
What about politicians actually trying to attract people to vote for them and their policies and doing this by improving their districts, getting more voter participation, etc.? But it’s much easier just to seek out areas where you can pretty much count on people’s votes, no matter what you do or fail to do.
