    Okay? That list is different than mine, but it still has 6/10 most gerrymandered states are republican controlled states.

      Each state is not the same. The level of gerrymandering and the result it gives is different in terms of seats at the table. The blue states gerrymandering all has a bigger effect than in the red ones.

        No, it doesn’t. This is dated, but since 2018, states have certainly not, as a whole, gerrymandered more in benefit of Democrats than Republicans.

        In the 26 states that account for 85 percent of congressional districts, Republicans derive a net benefit of at least 16–17 congressional seats in the current Congress from partisan bias. This advantage represents a significant portion of the 24 seats Democrats would need to pick up to regain control of the U.S. House of Representatives in 2018.
