Most deceptive gerrymander?

There's also Idaho. Yes, Idaho. You may wonder how you can gerrymander a super-Republican state with only two districts, but they basically did this by splitting Boise right down the middle, clearly to prevent the possibility of any strong Boise-based Democrat taking a seat on their own merits. Succeeded in that sense but failed in preventing district 1 Republicans from nominating Bill Sali. However it does make me wonder if all of Boise will be removed from ID-01 in redistricting. This will put pretty much all the areas with a notable number of Democrats in Idaho in one district, but also plenty of Mormons and probably enough to cancel them out.

Not to mention a very popular and strong Republican incumbent congressmen, in Mike Simpson.

I contest that Masschusetts is the most deceptive Republican gerrymander.


A 52-47 GOP win produced a GOP win in seven House seats.

So deceptive, it was drawn by Dems.
