I am glad that freightdog pointed out that gerrymandering is not limited to one party, in fact the worst gerrymandering I have ever witnessed in my voting years is here in Georgia, and it follows the African American vote half way across the state a swath about 10 miles wide from Atlanta to Augusta. It was not a Republican idea let me assure you.

The concept of the electorial college is completely different from the gerrymandering one. In either case the party that is elected is happy, the other one is not.

One of the nice things about our federal system here in the USA is it gives the rights for such matters to individual states. If one is not happy with the way things are in a state, he can complain, effect change of what he or she doesn't like, or, simply, move.
