So the tape came out after he won the primary but before the election. The GOP tried to push a write in campaign for his primary opponent. Some said they'd vote for the dem candidate. But due to republican gerrymandering, the sucker still won.

Nah that wasn't due to gerrymandering, or no more than any other election at least. That was due by the fact that Republican voters will vote for the the party no matter what. He could have been having a bukake party at the parking lot and they still would have voted for.

And gerrymandering works by the politicians choosing their voters rather than the other way around.

In this case by artificially making sure that there's enough "GOP no matter what" voters in the district to guarantee a Republican victory.
