    As we watch the WI state legislature limit the incoming governor's power, note that the state legislative districts are so gerrymandered that the GOP won ~46% of the statewide vote in Nov but will have ~63% of the seats. 1/x

        Therefore, there is no easy electoral response to this behavior. There is no small-d democratic response to be had. This is an illustration of the kind of serious problems that single seat districts can create. It shows how gerrymandering can utterly break representativeness 2/x

        Wisconsin is not being governed in a way that reflects the basic preferences of the majority of its citizens. Minority rule is not democracy. 3/3

        This is an illusory metric: It is possible with evenly drawn districts to win 51% of the vote and 100% of the seats if all the close races go your way, so I’m less stressed about the absolute percentages than I am with how lopsided many districts were by design.

        The real solution is to get rid of single seat districts and adopt some form of proportional representation. Single seat districts without gerrymandering are problematic to begin with and gerrymandering just makes it worse.

        Republicans won ~40% of the vote in California but only won 13% of the House seats

        That’s more a consequence of first past the post than it is gerrymandering.

        Do Dems have a majority on the state Supreme Court?

        Because it seems the only hope is for them to find the lame-duck changes unconstitutional under the state constitution.
