And it really won't significantly until 2020...

Posted by Will Hunting (aka Joemetz) Sep 30 '13, 07:00

becuase of how gerrymandered all of the districts are, they were able to sustain a comfortable majority while getting 1 million less votes last year.

The Democrats picked the worst possible time to have an horrible election cycle -- when all the lines were being re-drawn.

Granted, there's plenty of Democratic gerrymanders too, but that stat illustrates the point pretty clearly.

- Yep, they took 2 huge beat-downs in 06 & 08 and then had things turned around into the biggest win in 2010. - Will Hunting Sep 30, 07:17
- that's a big "if" though. (have I said before how the 2010 election was one of the worst thing's this country's ever done??) -- nm - Don Homer Sep 30, 07:04
