The Republicans have been so skilled at digital jerrymandering that we have digital technology delivering us a single party state. Only mass voter outrage will be enough to overcome a decade of very effective data driven jerrymandering.

- thrden 9y agogerrymandering actually only comes into play within the house. if the vote for the house was done by a purely popular basis without regards to districting and state boundaries, the republicans would still control the house. However, their majority would be far slimmer[1]. overall these comparisons are complicated as you often have situations where candidates from the same party compete against each other, or face no challenger https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_House_of_Representatives_elections,_2016 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_House_of_Represe...
