Gerrymandering Map

[packman]

entire states - mostly republicon. Notice the so-called swing states of Ohio, parts of Pennsylvania, Texas. The entire state of West Virginia and the Carolinas - amazing. Shame on both parties.

[House of Roberts]

1. I would like to see

a companion map colored red and blue, depicting the party advantaged by the gerrymandering.

2. America. Fuck Yeah!

Districting should be done on a national level.

Elections should be publicly funded.

Kochs should be deported.

3. PA Breakdown

US House of Representatives

R - 13
D - 5

From what I remember more people voted for Dems then Reps in PA but the districts were so slanted the Repubs came out way on top. To make maters worse almost none of the current districts are remotely competative so the vast majority of our current reps will not be out of a job next year. This only discourages people from voting IMO.

4. Always favored parliamentary representation

all US reps elected at large within the state. The party gets to choose who the reps are and gets a number of reps based on percentage of the at-large vote.

If the greens get 20% of vote, they get 20% of reps. Same with socialists, libertarians, whatever.

No statutory limit on number reps. It we need to bring folding chairs into the HOR, so be it. 435 doesn't match today's populations. We need a lot more.

And if Wyoming has a hard time deciding which party gets the vote, convince more peple to move there.

Same thing at the state level. At large based on county. That way my rep wouldn't be the gop speaker of the house, probably have to either move out of the county or find a real job and quit sucking off a power trip.

An even more interesting map is the Fair Vote US Interactive Map - click on a state, see how it's gerrymandered now, then click on tab showing how it should be and the map gives the political parties, and racial makeup. Quite revealing
