Oh, you poor innocent child. That is _nothing_ compared to the gerrymandering in North Carolina, Maryland, and Pennsylvania. https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/wonk/wp/2014/05/15/americas-most-gerrymandered-congressional-districts/
We put an end to that nonsense in California through California Proposition 11 (2008) and California Proposition 20 (2010), which delegated redistricting to a non-parisan commission. It's not perfect, but it's mostly working. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/California_Citizens_Redistricting_Commission
