Sure if you are looking top down. But bottom up yes it does. Local elections lead to those who move up the political ladder to the state and then the federal. Then the majority party in the state controls the map making.
That is why because of 36 years of GOP gerrymandering they control a majority of state congresses and governorships.
Because people think top down instead of bottom up. Or should I say too many democratic voters dont think about it and the GOP does. That is how they have grown to copy and paste local election laws all over the nation.
If gerrymandering didn't matter then why did a district judge tell NC they were violating voters rights with the way they were making the maps? Because the GOP knows how it works, bottom to top.
