> The party is power is whichever party happens to have more votes at any given time. That's really not true in the political system of the US, even without partisan gerrymandering. Given that the entire point of partisan gerrymandering is to enlarge the distance between popular vote and gained seats, I'm not sure what you're trying to say? > Whoever is in power won't change it because it got them elected so why would they risk doing something that might take them out of power? You can win the electoral college / house / senate / whatever, despite being disadvantaged via gerrymandering (arguably e.g. the case for Obama in 2012). So that's not generally true.
