3. The conventional "wisdom" says we can't do anything about it

That seems really defeatist thinking. We already have clear evidence that the redistricting in place for 2012 was anti-democratic. We won the house by over a million votes and still ended up in the minority. This is exactly the kind of thing that has successfully been challenged in the past. I don't know why we hear no talk of a legal challenge.

And especially as we look at this rigged system being put into place for the Electoral College in 2016, there should be some Constitutional basis for challenging it. It is clearly not representative.
