    Gerrymandering has been a huge problem for a while, what makes you think this time it played a pivotal role in Trump’s victory? If that was the case, he would have won the electoral vote but not the popular vote, but he won the popular vote, first Rep pres to do so in 20 years apparently. It helped secure past Rep presidencies, but doesn’t to have done so this time around.

      Gerrymandering only impacts the House of Representatives and no impact on the president or any other government positions.

      Jerrymandering doesn’t play any role in who gets elected president, just the house of reps.
