Republican gerrymandering another rightist special rule!

A man baby rightist tactic.

Republican gerrymandering – the manipulation of electoral constituencies in favor of one party – in Pennsylvania, Michigan, North Carolina and Wisconsin has locked in Republican control of state legislatures even when their candidates win hundreds of thousands fewer votes statewide. When Democratic governors won in Wisconsin and North Carolina, Republican-led legislatures stripped power from them in extraordinary lame-duck sessions.

Gerrymandering is how Republicans win seats in the House of Representatives. Without it, they'd never have control of the House.

TBF, Democrats do it too, but comparing the two is like saying both a serial rapist and a shoplifter are both criminals, while ignoring context.

Ohio also has this problem.

It's turned what once a swing state that was roughly equal in representation into a pure Republican controlled state within a decade. Even though the voting patterns haven't changed that much.

I also agree with Robtard's analogy of the two parties

Yup, we have it happen sometimes its called a filibuster.

The gerrymandering issue is something the Tories do here to stop fair representation in a district. It is much more of a problem from the GOP in the states. Trump has never won the popular vote and gerrymandering reduces the effect of the popular vote still further.

Republicans are redistricting like mad now (aka gerrymandering), they really want to gain control of the House next year.

your system is even more stupid than ours.

So what I'm hearing is the Republicans are more politically savvy than Democrats.

No duh. 😤

Tell me about it. I live in Georgia.

If by that you mean more inclined to be dishonest and cheat, yes.

What rules are they breaking? 🙂

Voting rights. It's disenfranchisement.

Oh I know Republicans can rationalize it with all sorts of mental gymnastics and political rhetoric, but it totally doesn't respect "Freedoms and Democracy and the Constitution" like they love to claim they represent.

Democrats argued against mail in voting. In the 2000 election.

Back when only Republican seniors needed them. In fact, it was the New York Times who argued mail in voting in not secure.

It was only when it would hurt Republicans that they suddenly started arguing how air tight against tampering mail in voting is.

Ignoring the fact that it made voting safer during a pandemic and helped enfranchise many, many people, are you?

In a way that's the opposite of gerrymandering.

All the screaming Republicans do about voter fraud really seems like a he who smelt it dealt it sort of thing.

Just like voter ID laws disenfranchise voters?

Funny how every measure Democrats push make the system less secure against fraud.

LOL, keep trying with the false equivalency and fear of voter fraud that doesn't exist (except for the few occasions of people trying to vote for Trump twice, of course).
