What does that have to do with the topic of the thread.
Redistricting, aka gerrymandering, is the topic. The other things were brought up as tangential to that issue.
I understand that. But you offered your opinion on the matter, so I'm asking about that. It's a discussion board, I'm discussing.
You can, you can do a whole lot of things. Doesn’t mean I or anyone else will follow.
Dont care. It’s my opinion. You offered your opinion, I offered mine. We’re all good.
True, have you run into many people who do don’t fall for the ‘gotcha’ style off topic questions or am I an anomaly?
Sure. But you seemed to object to issues such as redistricting, name calling, and underrepresentation, so I was trying to discuss them and see what your specific objections were.
So, no interest in discussion, then? Okay, fine.
What "gotcha"? I asked a question, you chose not to answer. Well, not directly, anyway. What conclusions I might draw from that are my own.
Have not done that research. My question related more to the history of gerrymandering by both parties throughout history. It’s ugly no matter which side it comes from.
Everyone here is playing by the actual rules. Thats not even in dispute.
How would changing the method of electing the President affect the method of electing the House of Representatives? The issue here is gerrymandering, which is irrelevant in regards to the electoral college in every state but Nebraska and Maine, because those are the only ones where the congressional districts have an impact on the choosing of electors (Nebraska and Maine, instead of doing winner takes all, gives a presidential candidate one elector for each district they win and the remaining two electors to whoever wins the state overall). However, neither Nebraska nor Maine are considered particularly gerrymandered states, so going to a popular vote for President still doesn't cure anything about gerrymandering.
Malapportioned. Gerrymandering is how the states are divided, not how many EVs/Reps it gets.
