    *Gerrymandering raises it’s hand.

    There was (still is?) the Fair Vote Act that got introduced and immediately buried in committee for several sessions that addressed both RCV and gerrymandering. I’ve lost hope for it and stopped paying attention to it getting reintroduced.

      RCV will still have an effect on gerrymandered districts. It disrupts the clear funding strategies of lining up behind a single/pair of candidate(s). It becomes either a lot less guaranteed that your funding dollars are being put to good use, or a lot more expensive to make sure that they are. [Caveat: this obviously assumes some depth of a viable candidacy pool in a given district/race.]

        And multi-winner ranked choice with larger districts makes gerrymandering much less impactful.
