Yeah, but anything questionable in an election is the Republicans fault.

Because the Democrats are so innocent and caring and trustworthy... :roll:

Its not a strawman its the truth. Look at North Carolina. The Republicans there see elections as a annoyance and are doing everything possible to ensure they can't lose their illegal majorities.

They have drawn legislative lines so barring a massive wave they cannot lose their majority. They sought to punish the voters for electing Democratic Governor by attempting to make it a powerless position. They are attempting to eliminate the independence of the courts, take away local authority to do anything. The NC GOP must be taking lessons from totalitarian governments in Russia and Hungary as they clearly want to emulate them.

Thats fair to you?

Gerrymandering is not illegal in this country.

Okay, do you have any actual proof instead of spouting of BS accusations?

"""Totalitarian"""

If that were true they would have taken full control on all levels in that state, and they haven't.

Gerrymandering should be illegal. How is it fair for one party to get the most votes but not win a majority?

It is all true.

Is it fair for the majority to basically run over the minority over everything and not give them any leeway whatsoever?

Why should the minority be treated like utter trash and their opinion doesn't matter then?
