Excerpt:

(In the first half of this essay, Gerrymandering 101, I explained how gerrymandering works and why it’s so ubiquitous. Here in the exciting conclusion I name and shame the ten most gerrymandered districts of the current 111th Congress — plus 20 bizarre bonus districts not mentioned in the title.)

(10.) North Carolina-12

Did you look at the districts? Any thoughts?

Good info Andy- as a Md. resident I have long been aware of this issue and it will only get worse. Every so many years the state is open for re-districting and this will be done in the next several years here. With the rotten Dems running this state it will, I guarantee, become even more blatant and perverse. I doubt Maryland will ever have a US Senator or Governor come from the Red side.

I meant to state that Md. may never have a House Representative elected again due to what will blatant redistricting to align each congessional district to favor a Dim. as best as possible.

This does not affect Sen. or Gov.
