“We the people…” still needs to mean something. Unfortunately, gerrymandering restricts voters’ ability to keep our leaders in check. 3/

Our system for US House districts, however, is still a joke.
-
And you oversaw the drawing of those awful, gerrymandered US House Districts,
@JohnKasich But I hope you mean this and we'll see real change -
If you're serious, you might want to support
@OhFairDistricts Constitutional amendment to make OH's US House districting more fair.

After being part of the problem. How do you think our districts go so screwed up in 2010. That was Kasich and our legislature.
-
I wouldn't put too much stock in blaming Kasich. He has been overruled plenty of times with his GOP legislature.
-
I trust neither our governor nor our legislature to do anything that won't support their party being in power at all costs.
-
I think that's a bit too harsh on Kasich. On the GOP I would totally agree

We have it via the Dems in Illinois. Need to end everywhere.

No one is saying it's only one side. It should always have been handled impartially and independently. The foxes shouldn't run the henhouse.

Pennsylvania needs help. We're trying to amend our constitution to fix this gerrymandering problem. Our state reps are stalling.

And while you're at it, presidential elections should be determined by popular vote. Electoral college is outdated!

I respect your opinion but disagree. Every single voter's vote would count, as it should be. If my views are outvoted, so be it. Democracy!
-
But we DON'T live in a democracy. Our gov't is a constitutional republic. Before we scrap system that's worked for 235+ yrs, TERM LIMITS!
-
I would gladly add term limits to the changes. But the reasons the electoral college method was devised are long gone. Popular vote.
