Gerrymandering is not illegal, although it can be successfully challenged if it is discriminatory.

If this map were drawn in such a way that it eliminate all Democrats, it would not be upheld. Similarly, if it were drawn to prevent hispanic areas from being able to elect a hispanic representative, that would also cause it to be tossed.

But you can have all the snakes you want.
