    Gerrymandering doesn’t effect the presidential election (except for maybe suppressing turnout of people who may feel like they don’t matter). I’ve seen far too many people who think it does.

      Sure. That’s fair. It does impact the primary and everything else on the presidential election ticket, though, which are still very important to the situation we’re in now. Congress is allowing everything Trump wants, basically, which could have been prevented if not for gerrymandering (for long periods of time).
