The recent spate of gerrymandering congressional districts by states run by one party or the other, be it Texas or California, is that the voters in those districts end up being the real losers when they are politically trapped by their statehouse and no longer have a real say in the direction that their representatives take them. If the statehouse has decided that you now live in a district controlled by one party or another, you have no real control over who represents you in Congress.
