Gerrymandering

This is what partisan gerrymandering looks like, and it is wrong on both sides. Please take special note of the vote totals, particularly in the presidential years of 2008 and 2012.

There is a case before the Supreme Court right now asking whether this is (a) constitutional and (b) justiciable. I suppose we'll see what Justice Kennedy has to say (because Roberts, Alito, Thomas, and Gorsuch will uphold the district lines, guaranteed; Ginsburg, Sotomayor, Kagan, and Breyer will likely vote to strike them down . . . that leaves Kennedy).
