Basically you want to do 2 things with gerrymandering. Make Opposition sectors which are OVERWHELMINGLY favored towards the opposition, the higher the % the better. Next you want to chop up the remaining sectors so you have a small (but safe) margin of victory.
Of course proportional delegates would limit the effects (because if a sector had 90% vote and 10 delegate, it would be split as such) and therefore proportional delegates are widely discouraged by parties in power (D and R are guilty of this)

Sorry, but can someone explain this? I feel like I get it but I'm not sure.
