    I think that burrocrats might actually be quite right in this case.

    Welcome to 70% of the districts in the US. They're all gerrymandered one way or the other. Most of them don't even give a crap what their "supporters" think, because the votes that keep them in office are not "supporters", just idiots who vote based on whether they see that "R" or "D" next to the name.

    And it won't change, because that 70% would never vote to outlaw gerrymandering, or anything else that threatens their power.
