I live in IL, District 17 went "red" ONE time and has been redrawn every time it gets close to being "red" again. Ilinois is the absolute worst at setting up districts.

I lived in San Francisco for nearly 40 years, 34 years in a house I bought in 1982 (I won't say for how much as it makes young people cry). In those 34 years my house obviously never moved but my Congressional district changed three times. That was because they kept redrawing ink blot districts to ensure Republicans in various suburbs Never got a viable seat. Also I remember a techie friend pointing out that while gerrymandering goes back to Eldbridge Gerry the computer has taken it from an art to a science.
