Gerrymandering and in fact any tampering is most effective when turnout is low.
If turnout is unusually high it actually can backfire turning very red counties into blue (they gerrymander by spreading people in heavily red counties to neighboring blue ones just enough to turn then red, so the margins are much smaller)
