Post Zwackerm's 2022 Most Gerrymandered States Ranking
I made a list ranking most gerrymandered states based on the gap between the percent of the vote they received and the number of seats they won. The states with one vote can't be gerrymandered obviously, and other states I found to not be gerrymandered at all, for a total of 35 states with at least some gerrymandering. Let me know what you think of my ranking!

1. Montana 53%R, 34%D
Current seats 2R, 0D
Est fair seats 1R, 1D
50% gerrymandered to favor Republicans
