It's about the particular mechanisms how this is done. I don't live in the US and while we have many issues in our country, the elections were never in question. And I can assure you our country was not created by "high-IQ political philosophers".
Meanwhile in the US, if a majority party does not like the voting districts, they just redraw them, and if they don't like the voters, they disenfranchise them. Truly great high-IQ work.
