This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.
This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?
Just post some stuff and don't spam.

I was curious, as I know left, democratic, progressive people who live in OK. Here are some links related to gerrymandering in OK
https://publicintegrity.org/politics/elections/who-counts/in-high-barrier-oklahoma-gerrymandering-assures-gop-control/

tl;dr - OK is gerrymandered AF. As the low effort / informationally sparse post above clearly demonstrates.
Gerrymandering is entirely irrelevant for presidential elections, since the state's votes get added up at the end anyway. To gerrymander for presidential elections you'd need to be redrawing state borders.
