    Well the stupid thing about it is, is that California voted to do away with partisan gerrymandering. So I don’t know how the hell Newsom is going to gerrymander California in response to what’s going on in Texas.

      Bipartisan gerrymandering exclusively hurts Republicans.

      If the land or populations were just cut up in a grid the Republicans would never win anything again.

      Literally just draw horizontal lines through the state.

      The coasts would make it so not a single district is red.

        A grid would over-represent rural areas. You are thinking of actual fair riding boundaries.
