    Gerrymandering wasn’t why Democrats failed to retake the House in 2012, but it will probably be the reason in 2018http://nyti.ms/2u4x15X

        No: it's bad when it permits a party to retain control of govt without popular support.

        Dems need to do something about the gerrymandering or they don't have a chance. Rep do not play nice or by the rules of decency

        The only way for #GOP to stay in power is to racially redraw district lines and to cheat eligible American citizens out of voting. Shame!

        Gerrymandering is NOT just a Democrats problem. It prevents minorities from electing people in their districts that they want to rep. them!

        Democrats and Republicans use their money and influence on who is going to run a bigger factor the Gerrymandering write in has no chance
