Economic Gerrymandering
A lot time and money is being wasted by the habitual politcians trying to game the system with unconstitutional gerrymandering. Re-districting is supposed to happen every ten years after a census. Political gerrymandering originate some strange looking districts to have a political majority.
Most elections are won by a few percentage points: 3% to 7%. Instead of having districts with a vast majority of one's party, habitual politicians in control of re-districting spread their base voters around as many districts as possible. One way of doing this is cramming members of the political opposition into a few districts. Thus, a state sends more representatives of one's party to Congress.
