This is just another invented idea of politician to keep the control of power, and supress popular votes. At the end republicans and democrats, they all are liar and fight for their own interest. But the problem is not them, is the ignorance that there is among people in the contry, defending a political party as if they care about us. They just throw some bread to people to keep them satisfied while they keep most of the goods. It happens in front of our Eyes, yet we do not see.

The electoral college prevents class differences based on ideology. Historically this always ends in resentment genocide of those who dont conform or war. Thats why Benjamin franklin calls democracy two wolves and a lamb voting on what to have for dinner. We have a constitutional republic. Study up on civics and atrocities in history concerning class differences.

Just get rid of districts. That way there is better reoresentation and it holds up to the point of the house by the founding fathers: a chamber in coungress filled with elected members proportional with the population of a state compared to the equally represented senate.

I live in NC, probably the most gerrymandered state in the nation. NC is generally a pink state, but 47% of people voted for Democrats this year. Yet 75% of seats went to Republicans! Oh well, we're number one in something I guess.

What makes you think that an independent organization will do a better job. They may have been corrupted, paid off by the same people in power to retain power. Or their opponents to gain power.

Watching this right after Supreme Court made a decision to leave gerrymandering to the States. So now I want to learn about it so we can influence local elections by gerrymandering.

Okay, people who also live in Delaware back me up. It's Delawarean, not Delawaran. Like I've never heard someone from the state of Delaware pronounce it like Craig does.

Here in WI our state level districts are gerrymandered so that 53% of votes are cast for Democrats and yet 65% of the state Assembly seats are held by Republicans.

The mander part comes from the word salamander. The video just mentions it looks like a reptile or dragon but that doesn't explain the mander part of the name.

Can-t even have a fair honest election anymore in the USA, because they the government officials take the votes from certain areas not completely
