I am not surprised to see Ohio is well represented here! We have a particularly egregious gerrymandered map with 75% Republican representatives in a state that leans slightly Republican.

Sure, but note Illinois is also well-represented in the font, this time with significant Democratic party over-reprentation (13 out of 18, for a state that is not nearly that skewed in presidential elections, say).

Turns out, gerrymandering gets done by whoever happens to be in power. :(

Yes, it does go both ways, I didn't mean to single out the RS!
