  The type of gerrymandering that divides districts along partisan lines is even more pernicious with term limits, it directly hands control of the district to the party. The type of gerrymandering that shaves partisan districts to create a contested district is also bad under term limits, a great representative can be shoved aside by the term limit and replaced by some party operator.
