Virginia's Grotesque Gerrymander and the Bipartisan Death of Redistricting Reform

The article employs charged language ('grotesque gerrymander,' 'death of redistricting reform') that signals editorial critique while maintaining a both-sides framing that assigns blame to Republicans for initiating partisan gerrymandering and Democrats for retaliatory gerrymandering. This libertarian publication centers process reform concerns over partisan advantage, which is characteristic of Reason's anti-establishment but pro-institutional-integrity stance.
