Hard Truth about Democracy to live.

Our Democracy is based on our electors doing what the people they serve sent them to do OR follow the Constitution.

Who are our electors?

Answer is candidates that were voted in by the people within a district.

Who decides who belongs to what district?

Republicans say their computer that formulated winning maps.

Democrats have no say.

We need to have an universal approach how our federal and state districts are mapped.

Metropolitan, Interstates, Rivers and county lines. No more Tetris maps.
