Why do voters support the idea of gerrymandering?

Have you seen the gerrymandering in Illinois one district looks like a very long worm drawn across the state. New York was gerrymander by the Democrats that a judge ended up redrawing districts. To pretend that both sides don't do it is laughable.

I already said I hate it when both sides do it. I'm not pretending anything.

This is a typical ploy of the Left and not even close to the first time it's been used.

No, they tried it under Tom Delay of TX. When the Dems fled the state Delay employed the FAA to find them and force them to return. Republicans have always thought that it was ok to use force to get their way.

I still don't get why gerrymandering is allowed.

Both "sides" should oppose it. There is no question that it hurts the country - it makes both parties more extreme.

There is a huge need to reform our electoral system. Also campaign finance reform. Republicans have made it ok to "buy" politicians - look at the millions Musk spent electing trump. Our elected officials should work for everyone, not just for billionaires.

Also, like the 2nd Amendment - the electoral college needs to go away.
