..no doubt
.ABSOLUTE gerrymandering!!!! ALL OVER the United States as a result of Republican held legislatures, sooooo many states have been gerrymandered.

(18,714 posts)A congressional district that was a Dem stronghold in a red state that got carved up by the GOP legislature and no longer exists...it was split surgically four ways so that there could be no blue representation. And the outside media has largely ignored it! No outrage except within this state. It's infuriating

we Dems would have SWEPT the county yet again!! This is the most serious problem we face. The popular vote will not MATTER as long as we continue to lose House of Representatives races. Dang. Im so sick and tired of watching them win this way. We ALWAYS have the popular vote. But them? They have (and have had) a Sharpie to carve out the districts. Damn them.
And they ATTACK U.S. Census efforts which allow them to do just these things. The U.S. Census gets bashed, and chided, and monies for a a realistic Census have been withheld.
THIS is what happens when you put Republicans in charge.

(38,853 posts)be as fortunate. It seems so wrong that the citizens of a state can't circulate petitions to put an issue on the ballot that they feel strongly about. There's something very un-American about it. The MIGQP threw up every roadblock allowed by law, but the will of the people could not be thwarted. It makes you feel like your vote really does matter.
I hope folks in other states can figure out a way to stop the actual steal.
