The one in Missouri is about as bad as it can get

It removes a district in Kansas City that has likely been Democratic since the days of Harry Truman.

If the 12 or so Republicans in the Indiana Senate hadn't quashed it, the same thing would have been done in Indianapolis and Gary.

The best anti-gerrymandering law I've read about is in Iowa, where congressional districts can't cross county lines. More populated states with big cities can't do that, but there have to be other ways.
