The thing that’s hard for me to understand is the worst gerrymandering was done in Illinois and New York, no lawsuits filed. There may be a reason for that, both Ohio and North Carolina had written in their state constitution an anti-gerrymandering section. The Gerrymandering in both states was unconstitutional according to each state’s constitution. Apparently neither Illinois nor New York have such a section in their state constitution. Neither did New Jersey which dismissed the lawsuit brought there. New York is a harder pill to swallow. New York went to an independent commission to draw their new district lines in the 1990’s. The commission did so in both 2000 and 2010. But this year, the independent commissions map wasn’t liked, so NY state legislature overrode the independent commission and drew their own map. Oh well, such is life.
