gerrymandering has been around for ages, what's the problem?
Remember, U.S. senators were chosen by the state's house of representatives (or is it senate). This country was intended to have everything focus around the states, which is where the founding fathers were the most confident it could remain uncorrupted. They were weary of large federal governments, therefore U.S. senators would be chosen by individual states' H.O.R. (or senate, can't remember). Interestingly, this was changed because of corruption on the state level where U.S. senatorial candidates would "buy" their votes.
Thanks
