The mismatch in between ballots and repetitions a lot more impressive in S Carolina, exactly where far more than forty % of the voters decided on a Democratic repetition, but just one particular of their state's eight-member delegation is just a Democrat.In Illinois, practically 30 percent of voters chosen a Democrat for the U.S. Property. The quantity of Democrats who'll represent Arkansas? Zero. Germandering. http://www.southernstudies.org/2013/01/chart-mischief-how-gerrymandering-has-undercut-southern-democrats-in-congress.html

simply because like tennessee a huge element of the population lives in cities --- here a district in nashville may possibly get 25 - 30 folks to vote for 1 seat exactly where as in my area the district is typically won by obtaining 1800 votes --- so if the cities(like memphis right here) are primarily democratic but the rural ares vote republican you get the disparity --- also in the south there tends to be alot of cross voting -- right here individuals will vote democratic for nearby races and republican for the state wide offices ---- just a possibility   anmldr 11 months ago

It is a 200 year old practice: Origin of GERRYMANDERElbridge Gerry + salamander from the shape of an election district formed in the course of Gerry's governorship of MassachusettsFirst Recognized Use: 1812Since this is a bi-partisan practice, never look for adjustments. Neither celebration wants to give this up. It could be equally intriguing to supply data on states exactly where Republicans have the exact same conditions as Democrats as analyzed by the writer in the link you provided. I wonder if he would be interested in performing such a statistical evaluation on these states? Doubtful. Really doubtful.   charlie95 11 months ago http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/gerrymander

Oops.........no intent to mislead, but this sentence should have read:"But it appears the writer manipulated the statistical data to count every vote all across the state for a Democrat candidate and add them all together......."   charlie95 11 months ago

Oh, I got your point. But you aren't willing to acknowledge my point. So rather than continue to belabor point after point, I attempted to show the futility of your point. As you say, it's not worth it. 30   charlie95 11 months ago
