A curious feature of gerrymandering: only extremists and party 'devote' faithful can vote for the guy who is elected. Gerrymandering means the elected official is selected in a primary - not in the general election. This further entrenches the party extremists at the expense of moderates, centrists, independents, and other free thinkers. Just another reason why the American Congress is so confrontational. Worse, more work only for a political agenda and even less for America.
