If the state legislatures are gerrymandered (and they are), there are more of one party to vote on and deliver hyper-partisan legislation to a Governor. If the Governor is of the same party, they win. Since many states have enacted voter restriction measures favoring the GOP, there is no guarantee that any Governor is truly the choice of the people.

But hey, I like your style.
