[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]All of the changes from “solid Republican” to “lean Republican” is great and all, but it feels like not enough.[/quote]

Not enough? The House is pretty safe. If probably always will be.

The GOP is a shrinking minority of America. [/quote]
I know that they haven’t redistricted anything this go round, but I’d like to see the gerrymandered states redistricted by computer. And I just don’t trust that the GOP doesn’t have some new horrible way to cheat. They always find newer, more horrible ways to disenfranchise or otherwise rob people of their vote.[/quote]
North Carolina was independently redistricted for this cycle and will result in at least two Democratic pickups.[/quote]
Sorry, I did know about that one and forgot. But Ohio and states like that? There’s still a metric heck ton of gerrymandering that means that Democrats will still likely be underrepresented, even though we have the House.[/quote]
Yup, Ohio, Wisconsin and Texas just off the top of my head are huge problems - that’s why flipping state legislatures - or at least breaking supermajorities - is so important in this census year. More on that here - https://www.dcurbanmom.com/jforum/posts/list/900657.page

And don't forget Maryland, one of the most gerrymandered States in the country (in favor of Democrats)
