    Doesn’t need to be rigged if you’ve got enough voter disenfranchisement and gerrymandering.

        Guys he put four periods in his ellipsis, I think he must be REALLY impatient that we don’t believe him with no evidence other than his own personal bias against democrats. I can feel hope beside himself with disbelief he must be that someone else in the world hasn’t been infected with alt-facts. I thought everyone loved Kool-Aid? WTH?

        This source has 4 of the top 10 worst gerrymandered states as democratic. The 10 Worst Gerrymandered States in the Country https://share.google/XE96wys3SqmtrawJC

        This source clearly outlines how and why Republican gerrymandering is more significant than democrats. Extreme Maps | Brennan Center for Justice https://share.google/N9KLkX2LAVJQ3lFIb Try again with some sources next time.

        Try again, but next time bring receipts so you don’t look dumb.

            Okay? That list is different than mine, but it still has 6/10 most gerrymandered states are republican controlled states.

              Each state is not the same. The level of gerrymandering and the result it gives is different in terms of seats at the table. The blue states gerrymandering all has a bigger effect than in the red ones.

                No, it doesn’t. This is dated, but since 2018, states have certainly not, as a whole, gerrymandered more in benefit of Democrats than Republicans.

                In the 26 states that account for 85 percent of congressional districts, Republicans derive a net benefit of at least 16–17 congressional seats in the current Congress from partisan bias. This advantage represents a significant portion of the 24 seats Democrats would need to pick up to regain control of the U.S. House of Representatives in 2018.
