Mich. one of the most gerrymandered states in U.S.

Michigan is one of the seven most severely gerrymandered states in the nation, according to a New York Times report.
Relying upon 2012 election data compiled by a Princeton University professor, the Times has produced a map and a graph that shows Michigan joins Ohio, Pennsylvania, Virginia, North Carolina and Florida as states that have a significant "imbalance of power" due to partisan congressional district lines that skew the political landscape.

Unfortunately for the Democrats, all of those states are skewed in favor of the GOP. Only Arizona has a set of district boundaries that strongly favor the Democrats.
The imbalance refers to those states where the overall popular vote reflected a different outcome than the results in a state's House races. 

For example, in Michigan, the Democratic congressional candidates received a slight majority of the votes in November but the district boundaries drawn by the GOP gave the Republicans a 9-5 edge in House seats.
Overall, the Times found that the GOP congressional candidates in the 10 most gerrymandered states edged the Democrats by 7 percent in the popular vote but captured 76 percent more House seats than the Dems in those states.

The imbalance in 2012 was the worst the nation has seen in decades.

In addition, Michigan's infamous 14th District, which stretches from the Detroit River waterfront west of Belle Isle to West Bloomfield, is singled out as one of the most strangely shaped districts in the nation.
