    Jeet Heer Retweeted Brian Klaas

    The Democrats are on track to win 230 house seats and the national popular vote by 9.4%. The number of seats would be higher without gerrymandering -- in the range of 240-250.https://twitter.com/brianklaas/status/1060004184878145536 …

    We should be talking about the projected raw popular vote totals much more. In terms of raw votes, this is shaping up to be a massive wave. That it may not translate into an enormous margin in a wave of seats is an indictment of how we draw districts more than anything. pic.twitter.com/D0j96RbjCs

        Time to expand the House. Implement the WY rule at minimum.

        The popular vote meant fuck-all last time. Why should this time be different?

        In 2018, 3 House seats have no Dem candidate vs. 39 seats without a GOP candidate. Thus, "House Popular Vote" is 100% meaningless.

        Is this estimate just straight by percentage without accounting for state boundaries or does this account for the state boundaries?

        "gerrymander" was used for the first time in the Boston Gazette on 26 March 1812. The word was created in reaction to a redrawing of Massachusetts state senate election districts under Governor Elbridge Gerry (/ˈɡɛri/; 1744–1814). https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gerrymandering …

        And the fact that some of the districts look like salamanders.
