    Gerrymandering should be a crime and conviction should mean removal from office and a life long ban on working in politics.

    Now we just need a way to do that that isn’t vigilante violence.

    It is kind of frustrating how every system needs to resist people (usually conservatives) from acting in bad faith.

      Supposedly there was a bill a few years ago to ban it that narrowly failed.

      At this point maybe the best bet would be for blue states to enter the gerrymandering arms race on a conditional basis; do it as blatantly as it’s being done on the other side, with some explicit clause that it will end when fair representation is implemented nationwide.
