edit: seems like some people interpret “full of” as a mathematical majority which, while it may or might not be true instance to instance, isn’t my intent in posting

feel free to swap in “has a lot of” if that’s more familiar language to you :)

??? But as the OP said that's not how Presidential elections work. Gerrymandering does not affect presidential elections at all.

As he already said, it affects local elections like Congressional districts.

*with the exception of Nebraska and Maine, who use proportional allocation of electoral votes based on districts.

Not proportional. FPTP per district.
