Re: "I live in a heavily gerrymandered district which has been mathematically figured out how to disenfranchise any and all anti-incumbent voters." Hey! Don't so many of us? This is an evil that the US Supreme Court has specifically allowed to exist. (For far too long.) BOTH political parties BENEFIT from gerrymandering (which is why you see it everywhere). It allows them to carve out safe districts for their own peeps (and also keeps third parties from ever having a chance to arise and ever challenge the Rep-Dem duopoly on power.) But... it's a little difficult to see how local gerrymandering can shut you out of voting for a NATIONAL election like for the Presidency.
