>> Rs are in control of the House thanks to some heavy gerrymandering.

I don't know if that is a true statement or a false one.


A very true statement.

And want to hear another fact........last House election, Dem reps got more votes in total than Rs. And yet, Rs rule the House. All thanks to gerrymandering.

But if you think for a second that it isn't a tactic used by both sides you're more of a numbnuts than even I thought.


I said both sides use the tactic but in 2010 a desperate GOP took it to a much worse level.

Gerrymandering shouldn't be allowed to happen. Computers should draw districts based strictly on population, with no party identification component. The code should be open source.
