and it should be illegal.
Reminds me of all those times I responded to TimTurner or someone's extreme gerrymanders in the Redistricting board with "You should be in prison!"
At the end of the day is to a large extent criminal distortion of the popular will.
I will say this though, a lot of GOP gerrymanders are based on a wishful thinking from the Obama years. The same kind of wishful thinking that governed the Romney campaign in 2012 was ever present in 2011 in a lot of states. That mindset is coming home to roost in a lot of places where we have seen GOP gerrymanders collapse like VA and also I would point out the GOP vote sinks drawn by the Democrats in the Chicago suburbs.
