Gerrymandering is what saved America.

Making the vast majority of Congressional races uncompetitive saved America?

The Economist is from the real world- called 'Fascist Liberalism' or whatever ''hopeless drivel''...

the GOP believes in democracy the same way the dems do, whomever controls gerrymandering gets to call the shots so to speak.

Look what the dems did in Illinois. Or do only rail against GOP gerrymandering?

Only a complete socipathic partisan jackass could read that article and not feel at least a little shame. The ends justify the means is for authoritarians, not freedom loving Americans.

Won House by far with 3 million less votes...a disgrace. Illinois unknown lol...

Most only oppose gerrymandering when their side is not the one doing it.

Gerrymandering on either side is bad and everyone knows it. If your party happens to be in control of the gerrymandering, then you probably will look the other way and not worry about it. The funny thing is that voters really are stupid. Here in Ohio we had a referendum last election to determine if we should have a non-partisan committee determine Congressional Districts in the future. The measure was defeated by close to a 2 to 1 margin.

No actually I oppose it altogether. So does "liberal" California which passed measures against it.

Gerrymandering is what saved America.

Gerrymandering made a majority in the House of Representatives that doesn't need to worry about public opinion and only needs to worry about conservative challenges from the right.

You think undermining the foundations of a democracy is what saved America.

That's why I said most not all.

That is because in many states in 2010 put the GOP in charge of Gov's and state houses. Except in states like Illinois, where the dems drew the lines.

I really don't oppose gerrymandering at all.
