Please do not link to stories claiming gerrymandering without showing maps. Whatever map is the closest to a bunch of little squares is the fairest. https://du

  Maybe you can enlighten me how the shape plays a role here? In the end isn't this about how close the absolute vote matches the political outcome? One could easily come up with rectangular districts that skew the result, right? I am from somewhere where all important democratic elections are won by absolute numbers, so we don't even have the whole problem.

    Really? The term gerrymandering comes from a district that was drawn so convoluted that it looked like a Salamander. If you want fair elections, without districts being gerrymandered, just draw rectangles with about equal populations and be done with it.
