Can you give an example of a rule you’re thinking of that a gerrymandered state legislature has made that will have a material effect on the outcome of the state’s US Senate race, or even more specifically on Ohio’s which is where this conversation started?
I get what you’re saying but one could be putting more polling places in heavier R areas and then less in D areas making the lines longer and harder to vote.
I don’t know what state you live in, but thats how it works in mine.
In mine, each county has a County Board of Elections which determine the number and location of polling places. Those County Board of Elections members are appointed by our Secretary of State. The Secretary of State is an elected position by all voters in the state.
So again, Gerrymandering would have zero effect on location or number of polling places in my state.
How does it work in your state where you’re seeing Gerrymandering could affect the number or location of polling places?

That’s the secretary of state tho, not the legislature. Valid point tho, just being a pedant
