In many cases the money being spent isn't to influence the outcome, that has already been decided by gerrymandering, and all the other fuckery that goes on. The money is spent to influence the candidate and their actions after winning...

Gerrymandering lets politicians pick their voters. They still actually need to get them to vote for them.
Failing to do so despite gerrymandering is a great way for people who then take apart the gerrymandering to get into office.
