Well, in the midterms it won't matter because reps are elected by popular vote.
Yes, but the districts are the same as the gery-mandered voting districts.
It is the whole point. To divide those up in a way to maintain a majority.
Each voting electoral collage vote 'is' a congressional district.

So to divide up a strong area to splinter parts of it to others can make it a minority to the ruling party. There is no end to this and no easy fixes.
It's all in how you draw the lines.
Going to change again after 2020 and who will draw those new lines? The ruling party.
