    Gerrymandering is always a risky gamble…

    And lots of times, gerrymandering aims to get what there was there. They lump all of “them” in as few of districts as possible, because anything over 50.1% is “wasted” votes.

    Republicans feel like they can win all the seats, and in doing so can lose even more

    They constant underestimate how many people don’t vote but disagree with them. Staring down two elections likely to have historic turnout for the Dems, this is the absolute worst time to be trying to capture every seat

    Like, their intentions are evil here, but they’re so stupid they’re shooting themselves in the foot again.
