...and was told the study was bogus. I don't think the Brennan Center does much that's bogus.
But..
"....with Republican-dominated congressional redistricting in 2011, Brennan Center researchers project Democrats are going to win far fewer seats around 12 even if they win by an 8.8-point margin in 2018. In todays gerrymandered landscape, Brennan researchers estimate Democrats would have to win the popular vote by 11 points, something neither party has achieved in decades."
