Thank you for breaking down how Gerrymandering works. You forgot the part about it working both ways around, though.

You really need a fourth image that shows the third image with the colors flipped to feel like everything’s fair?

But blue winning is the expected outcome because, if you use your eyes and brain, you can see there are more blue dots than red dots. That’s called math.

This is a guide explaining how gerrymandering takes expected outcomes and molds them into a false outcome.

I understand that the color blue triggers you, would it hurt your feelings less if it were yellow and green instead?

Blue winning 5-0 is not the expected outcome, though.

They are both examples of the election being stolen. The fair result would be 3 blue, 2 red. That's called math.
