Democrats have been gerrymandering for decades [0] [1] [2]. It's only when Republicans started doing the same did it suddenly become an issue of great ethical concern to many Democrats. I recall with vivid clarity the now disgraced ex-con [3] and former Speaker of the N.C House, Jim Black declared that he didn't see anything wrong with injecting politics into drawing districts. Don't fall for their phony outrage and moralizing.
