Gerrymandering has served both parties well and the winner take all approach is terrible for our republic. It creates arrogant fringe candidates tripping over themselves to prove how far right or left they are. Result, candidates only listen to what they hear and then they get elected.

This is the single reason why Congress is a mess.
