You've just defined redistricting, not partisan gerrymandering


My definition is not based on who has more seats. It's based on whether districts are compact and made up of communities of interest. That's the standard California used with their redistricting commission. It wasn't drawn to achieve a particular partisan outcome, just like Wisconsin's wasn't. Wisconsin simply undid a past gerrymander to make a compact map and got one that is pretty representative of the political balance of the state.
