what's the saying numbers don't lie
Gerrymanders, Part 2: How many voters were disenfranchised?
https://election.princeton.edu/2012/...es-do-it-myth/
In the seven Republican-controlled states, the total votes cast were 16.22 million (50.8%) for Republicans, 15.68 million (49.2%) for Democrats for a 74 R, 32 D outcome. The simulations indicate that this seat split would normally only require 11.7 million Democratic votes. In other words, 4 million Democratic voters in seven states were disenfranchised.
Therefore the disenfranchisement due to partisan-controlled redistricting was a total of 4.4 million voters from both parties. Democrats were disenfranchised more than Republicans, at a ratio of 10:1.
But again in your world gerrymandering is just gerrymandering
I guess this image is an acceptable version of Gerrymandering where the majority loses over the minority because the rigged the map and its an old map i am sure republicans have done worst... they dont gain seats by gaining more votes they just put their competition is one Box and then suggest elections have consequences
the Dems are just trying to catch up
