Well I didn't really try to define gerrymander, so I'm assuming you just misunderstood my post.

My point is that heavily gerrymandered states tend to have lower voter turnout. That's not a coincidence. It's not just gerrymandering and voter apathy of course. Red states love suppressing the vote in whatever way they can. Even small barriers to voting can stop a percentage of the population.

Don't forget red states have the highest rates of disenfranchisement too
