Prety much the title, like how are they getting away with it? Also, why isn’t the news making any hay out of this?

ps: idk what to flair this, so I hope it’s ok

How can it be "legal" to gerrymander ~~so severly~~

There, fixed it for you. Gerrymandering is just a fancy word for "deleting votes I don't agree with". Any system with gerrymandering is not a democracy.
