As the election demonstrated, the thread title is essentially correct. On this occasion, Republicans got more votes, but as in other elections, the distribution of voting power was uneven. Some maldistribution is inevitable - geography and demography guarantees that - but digging into the numbers on a granular basis demonstrates it is worse because of gerrymandering. I am prepared, unfortunately, for the inevitable abuse of position that is expected - and already projected - in the 118th Congress. Would that our representatives actually sought to govern rather than position their parties.

A well reasoned argument is like a diamond: impervious to corruption and crystal clear - and infinitely rarer.

Here, as elsewhere, people are outraged at what feels like a rigged game -- an economy that won't respond, a democracy that won't listen, and a financial sector that holds all the cards. - Robert Reich
