The most gerrymandered House districts

What are the most gerrymandered House delegations?

 

There's no one consensus metric that measures partisan gerrymandering, so different analysts disagree on which states are gerrymandered, and which aren't. Here are some states frequently mentioned as having particularly egregious Congressional delegations:

Austin, TX is still the best IMO. It doesn't look bad...until you stop and realize exactly what they did.

If I may add, in 2012 the popular vote for the US House was won by Democrats, at 50.5%. Yet Democrats control only 45.5% of the house seats - a margin of over 30 seats. But both parties do it hurr durr. Again, one is masively more guilty than the other.

 

Basically if you're Republican, the districting has afforded you a greater representation in our government than if you are a Democrat. By design, of course, because it's the only way for the GOP to remain in power in any capacity. And there's almost nothing that can be done about it which is the sad thing. Factions of the public will continue to be outraged over the blatant gaming of the system, but those in charge of drawing districts each decade just do the "What? Nothing to see here" routine and there is literally nothing we can do.
