Gerrymandering is an effective way to get more votes. Any political party would try to do it.

Really, what we need is a system where gerrymandering is impossible.

I doubt you actually looked up what I'm talking about. Yes, both parties gerrymander, which I agree is an issue. But republican states keep getting sued due to unconstitutionally drawn maps that try to silence the black vote as much as possible
