The Republicans could not win the presidential election. However, we are currently learning the dirty tricks they have used to put their candidates into Congress though the popular vote was greater for Democrat candidates. We are seeing the plans being drawn by gerrymandering (gerrymandering is a practice that attempts to establish a
political advantage for a particular party or group by manipulating
district boundaries to create partisan advantaged districts. The
resulting district is known as a gerrymander (/ˈɡɛrimændər/, alt. /ˈdʒɛriˌmændər/);
however, that word can also refer to the process. When used to allege
that a given party is gaining disproportionate power, the term gerrymandering has negative connotations.)
Gerrymandering is not a new concept but it seems to be going beyond our democratic system of fairness in voting. It is difficult to get an honest read from the media. We need to have some legal experts let us know how fair voting can be brought back to our country. We cannot allow Republican governors to make a mockery out the rights of voters. We cannot allow cheaters to control our country any longer.
