Here's an excellent article about how the GOP planned for years to rig the 2012 House vote and managed to elect a majority in the House despite loosing the popular vote by 1.4 million.
The article acknowledges that Democrats Gerrymander too but concludes that the GOP does so much more frequently. I particularly liked the articles conclusion:
Politicians, especially Republicans facing demographic and ideological changes in the electorate, use redistricting to cling to power. Its up to us to take control of the process, slay the gerrymander, and put the people back in charge ...

It so it appear that its liberal (not Tea People) who are the ones that need to take their country back. Lets hope we can.
