Eli5 gerrymandering and how it works so successfully?
In: 1
The other thing about gerrymandering is that it is self-perpetuating. You can draw your districts so that your party wins the majority of seats, even in an election where the overall vote favors the opponent. Then when it comes time to draw new districts, you can make changes to the lines with new information to make even more districts safely for your party, which means you will get to draw districts the next time they come up, and so on.
