look at new england. there are no republican congress critters from new england. illinois is gerrymandered to a stupid degree - look at the districts.

the vast majority of states carve out and gerrymander for the benefit of the party in power. it isn't right - no matter which party is doing it. this is why state legislatures shouldn't be the ones creating congressional districts. apparently, they can't be trusted. i don't know what the solution is. maybe base it on population - if you have a certain percentage of democrats or republicans in a state - then perhaps their congressional delegation should reflect that percentage. i don't know. the system in existence at present, however, obviously doesn't work and is prone to corruption.
