In reply to the discussion: The shitshow in Tennessee belongs, 1000%, to the Roberts Supreme Court of the Confederate States [View all]Sympthsical
(9,676 posts)9. The California Assembly is 77.5% Democratic
With 62.5% D and 37.5% R raw vote in the election.
Tennessee popular election totals were 70.6% R, 26.8% D for the state Senate. 70.5% R, 26.9% D in the state House.
California is more imbalanced than Tennessee when it comes to popular totals and state representation. (5% difference in Tenn. vs. 15% difference in California)
Maybe - just maybe - gerrymandering is and has been a problem everywhere and is getting worse.
