The Democratic Party wins only around 45 percent of the vote statewide, but if it controlled redistricting, it could pick up about two-thirds of the state’s congressional seats.
Districts should be just counties or groups of counties, based on population. You set minimum population and a maximum population and figure out how many what a representative gets. You can adjust once every census and that’s it.

I’m pretty sure they also try to fuck with the census
True, but I would think it would be easier to protect the census than 100’s of congressional districts.
