The Illusionary Gerrymandering Game: Deceiving Reality

Updated March 2023 

Gerrymandering, the redrawing of electoral districts to benefit one party, has been the subject of debate, with many claiming it provides an unfair advantage to the Republican Party. However, an analysis shows that this is no longer the case. While it may have been true in the past, in recent elections, the allocation of seats in the House of Representatives has been proportional to the two-party vote share, giving both parties an equal chance.

In the past, Republicans were more efficient in converting votes into seats due to the geographic concentration of Democratic voters in urban areas. But under the Tea Party and Donald Trump, Republicans made gains in rural areas while Democrats made gains in the suburbs, neutralizing the Republican advantage. In the 2022 election, neither party had an advantage in the most contested House seats, with both winning an equal number. While gerrymandering may still be a problem in some states, nationally, the system now awards House seats fairly between the parties.
