@Benny ” Besides Maryland and maybe Illinois, what deep blue gerrymander can compare with Texas, Ohio, or any of the other Republican ones?” Ok How about Massachusetts, New Jersey, New York, California, Washington State, BTW Illinois wrote the book on gerrymandering going back to the Richard Daley. If you want to see fine example of NY gerrymandering look up the 98 Assembly District map, it is 60 miles long in meandering in suburban NY.
“Democrats won the overall house margin by about 3% but still lost a bunch of seats.”
That’s because the urban voters voted without brains, no matter who is on the GOP line they would not vote for them therefore they win districts 90-10.
“Also, it’s not just “high tax” states projected to lose representation. Alabama, West Virginia, Minnesota, Ohio, Michigan all might lose a district.”
Minnesota ranks #5 in tax burden, Ohio #12, WV and Michigan lost population thanks to Obama’s policies that dried up jobs. Of course NYS is proudly number one as the highest tax burden.
