This guy called the 2016 vote in early 2016...good read for someone interested in gerrymandering. The GOP has been working this and planning it since 2010.

Per the Constitution, states control the way they arrive at their districts. Most states leave it up to the legislature with occasional governor input (Wisconsin). The legislatures even gerrymander the legislature's districts. That's why you have supermajorities in states that aren't really that partisan. To combat this, there are several means.

Ratfucking is like political subterfuge. Nowadays it usually refers to super gerrymandered districts. David Daley, the EiC of Salon, wrote a book with the same title. Good book, if disheartening, but it was the first time I had ever heard the term. Not sure how widespread it is.

Hmm... Try contacting the office of your state rep to confirm, or the state AG's office. That's pretty shady, considering how REDMAP and other private firms have been able to get their hands on all the registrations.

Also I highly recommend the book Ratfucked if you want to really learn about REDMAP and the other scams.
