Both Democrats and Republicans in the U.S. will claim that their opponents are the worse perpetrators when it comes to gerrymandering. Sam Wang and his team at Princeton University took a look at the data and graded states for their congressional and legislative redistricting. Here's his blogpost explaining the method, plus, at the second link, the results. "From this systematic comparison across every state, we learned that there is a very particular way that districting can be fair: take the power away from legislators."

Trump said the #DOJ will sue CA over Gov Newsom’s efforts to draw a new congressional map. Newsom promptly responded on SM: “BRING IT.”
Trump's praised a similar effort by TX Republican legislators' effort to codify a new map that'd give the GOP an even greater advantage with 5 more House seats in the 2026 mid-term elections.
