Reply #17: They use computers PRECISELY to gerrymander. They...

[Selatius]

...put instructions into computers and draw up boundaries in such a way that, yes, it does benefit the party in power but, no, it is not legally considered gerrymandering because they also include rules that would prevent the computers from drawing up boundaries that would break the law. In short, they use computers to bend the law as far as possible without breaking them.

It's gerrymandering gone high tech, in essence.
