No one ever said that they didn't. The Rs. have been doing it more and more extreme. If you look at the states that don't, more are D states. Calif. does not.

Maybe Paul thinks it would be OK if both sides did it the same number of times.

classic jim just comparing the word gerrymandering it's like like comparing a Serial killer to a guy who shot his wife and saying well their Both Murders

Scale and why and frequency seems to not factor into Jim Logic on the Topic

The top 10 most gerrymandered states in the U.S. include:

North Carolina: Has used Districts 1 and 12 for minority voters.
Maryland: Uses broken districts to give an advantage to Democrats.
Pennsylvania: Divides its major urban areas among other districts.
West Virginia: Changed six districts into just three.
Kentucky: Places urban populations in rural districts.
Louisiana: Combined Baton Rouge and New Orleans into one district to minimize Democratic votes.
Utah: Divides Salt Lake City into surrounding rural districts.
Texas: Has tried to propose districts that would unfairly affect minority voters.
Arkansas: Has drawn district boundaries to balance out city voters with rural voters.
Ohio: Unfairly distributed districts in a partisan way.


yet the majority of court case concerning gerrymandering they go to court and get overturned Are Republican at both the state and Federal

But again saying they both do it! is a disingenuous Argument

Republicans are "getting absolutely creamed" with "phony redistricting" going on in states across the country, according to former President Donald Trump on Saturday.
