Illinois was a bipartisan incumbent protection map. Republicans controlled the Illinois Senate up till 2004.

Not only that, but it froze in place Republican gains at a high-water mark.

And Georgia backfired anyway, and was reversed mid-decade. Really the only solidly benefitial Dem gerrymander was Maryland, and that only earned two seats, one of which probably would've fell anyway.

The weirdest outcome for a Dem gerrymander has to have been Alabama. Montgomery was split up so all the Democratic precincts would make the 3rd competitive, leaving the 2nd solidly Republican.
