Seltsamerweise hatte die illegale Gerrymandering- Aktion der Regierung #Trump keinerlei Auswirkungen auf die Midtermwahlen. Niemand hatte damit gerechnet, dass eine so grosse Mehrheit des US-amerikanischen Volk so geeint die Demokratie verteidigen würd…

It would be pretty funny if a D-tilted environment
coupled with trying to dilute D votes by gerrymandering them into heavily red districts
resulted in a much bigger blowout than if they hadn’t gerrymandered

Republicans hold a 219-213 majority in the House,
but they could lock in more seats if reapportionments go their way
