So a state that is roughly fifty red and blue should have roughly fifty fifty congressional representation in the US House? That’s good to know.

Gerrymandering actual leads to more candidates on the fringe. Although the Republicans have struggled to attract good candidates. The last R-elected Senator was Ayotte who was a Centrist. She was relentlessly attacked for being a RINO and had a far right third party candidate get 2k votes in the election that she lost by 500 votes. So yes NH is evenly split but prefers Centrists like Sununu and Hassan to extremists like Bolduc and Mesner.

Yes, definitely. This is the basis of proportional representation. Check out activist groups like Fix Our House who are lobbying for this reform.
