I agree with you - and that's why gerrymandering is a problem, because it makes the last 2 questions more valuable to study for. As for statistics, that's for pollsters and analysts to work on.

If everyone knows gerrymandering is bad, why is it still allowed to happen?

Because a good chunk of the population doesn't understand what it is and why it's bad, and a serious percentage of politicians benefit from it.

Are you saying its essentially a thing Republicans don't know about or understand? I have to assume every democrat has heard the word, and it has simple explanations too.

I was under the impression republicans knee but defended it but it could be an ignorance thing, thats a fair point.
