That’s incorrect. I could make a completely fair state map with ArcGIS, voter data & about a week’s time. It’s the people working the software that are the problem.

It’s not a technology problem. It’s a political one.
And while you’re at it, maybe consider dumping ESRI and using something like QGIS instead.
