I don’t suppose that’s a body of water there in the missing space?
Doesn’t look like it:
I remember a John Oliver bit years ago about a congressional distric map that looked similar to this and had good reason; the two “sides” of the district were two smaller predominantly Latino communities, and the section in the middle was a larger African American community.
While this may not be the case for this district (I’m not American, am not familiar with this district, and have not looked into its demographics or electoral history), it’s important to remember that shape alone does not make a district gerrymandered.

In order for a post to show up as a crosspost, it must use the exact same URL, rather than re-uploading it each time. It looks like each crosspost so far has used a separate URL except your [email protected] crosspost.
