the past 10 years in Pa. and because of gerrymandering Democrats have lost Representatives every election year since then even though more people voted Democratic.

I have a question for the next election, can GOTV win out over voter suppression, over gerrymandering, over allowing Republicans to decide who won the election regardless of who got the most votes? Democrats had well better do more than GOTV if we plan to win in 2022 and 2024.
