One bad thing about Gerrymandering is that when lines are redrawn to concentrate voters of one party together, a result is that they no longer have to play to the center, but to the farther extreme of the party. That has also happened over the last 30 years, resulting in a concentration of "extremists" in Congress, extreme because they are more fearful of being primaried in their districts than being defeated by an opponent from the other party. Being "Cantored" they call that now.

Oh don't get me wrong I'm 100% against Gerrymandering.
What's the main argument against purging rolls?
