    Sure they do. If congress passes a law preventing gerrymandering, it can. And I’d support it.

      Any law against gerrymandering passed by this congress will only target democrat states. I live in Missouri, a state completely run by Republicans, and in the last decade we have passed referendums on independent redistricting only for us to pass another referendum that gave the authority back to the governor before any independent redistricting could happen. We also recently had a referendum on banning ranked-choice voting. It had a provision that said only citizens can vote, something that was already a law, but because this state is full of fox news addicted morons it passed. Republicans have no interest in improving elections. They’d get rid of them entirely if they could, which they’ll be able to soon the way things are going.
