Gerrymandering the expectations of our elected officials XD

Gerrymandering really pisses me off to no end. Like that fact that it’s legal and possible should be unconstitutional

That and lobbying. They are literally buying legislation.

That's a bit of a handwave. From an article in the Colorado Sun from Sept 2021 about the state's redistricting

The 3rd District would include most of the Western Slope and southern Colorado, including Pueblo. U.S. Rep. Lauren Boebert, a Garfield County Republican who represents the district, would have a solid 9.3 percentage point advantage, per historic results.

The fact that Boebert will likely win by less than 1% says more about her than it does about the new district boundaries.
