      Democrats got 50.8% of the popular vote in House races in 2020. 50.8% of the seats would be 221. They got 222. Every Democratic House majority since 1938 had had more seats than its share of the popular vote. For decades, that advantage was massive.pic.twitter.com/m6woQWICQw

      If Democrats had won only the same share of House seats in 2008 as their share of the popular vote, we would not have Obamacare.pic.twitter.com/Tu4KtKL8RN

      There's a bunch of factors that go into this stuff, but never forget that the 4-decade Democratic dominance of the House - the caucus Nancy Pelosi joined in 1987 - was secured by massive advantages in gerrymandering.

      Reminder: if you write 2,500+ words about how GOP could net 11-16 House seats by gerrymandering TX, FL, GA, NC (unlikely) without *once* mentioning Dem prospects of gerrymandering NY, IL, MD… …you’re not covering redistricting objectively or accurately. https://www.motherjones.com/politics/2021/07/gop-could-retake-the-house-in-2022-just-by-gerrymandering-four-southern-states/ …

      This, on the other hand, is a more modest proposal I could live with for some outer limits to the worst redistricting abuses. https://www.nationalreview.com/corner/a-more-modest-version-of-h-r-1-is-still-not-quite-modest-enough/ …pic.twitter.com/M2DY0k2H97

          Can’t do race neutral: minority majority districts required by current law would be eliminated.
