15. It's the party registrations that enable the gerrymandering

Whenever D voters - who are going to vote D no matter what - withdraw from the Party they make it harder for the R's to figure exactly where the new gerrymandered boundaries should lie. The R's guess wrong more often because they don't always know.

If every Pennsylvania voter were to register in the Party of their choice (it will never happen) then it would be so easy for the R's to gerrymander the entire game. But D's have a way of changing residences, jobs, schools, sometimes even our names (when we marry and divorce) so that makes things really complicated when the Repukes try to rig the voting.

I'm OK with Democrats leaving the Party, as long as they continue to vote D.....
