New England's six states vote about 40 percent Republican, and have literally zero republican representatives

[Concerned American]

You talking to the guy that has said for decades that Congress should exercise it's power over Federal election and mandate bipartisian districting committees using defined guidelines and software to draw such lines.

Nice try. That's why you tried to equate gerrymandering with intelligence in your post #11.

Incorrect. I equited voting for cultists to intelligence in post #11.

"Smarter" is a measure of intelligence.

All 6 engage in wholesale election fraud, not just gerrymandering.

That's a hyper-partisan lie, of course.

In Massachusetts, there is no region in the nation's best-educated state where Republicans are concentrated enough to make a congressional district that is majority Republican, even if they tried.

 

[Zincwarrior]

How is that Democratic? Are the Democrats "Kings of NE"?

Yes. Gerrymandering is antidemocratic bullshit.

Equited? Please use English smart guy.

That is a sizable electoral advantage
Maine has a Republican Senator

~~~~~~~>
Really? Collin's is a Republican in name only, she votes most of the time with Democrats.

 

[schmidlap]

That couldn't be gerrymandering, could it?

Not if one party is too sparsely and widely distributed to concoct a congressional district in a state.

Massachusetts appears to be one of the states where the distribution of voters, rather than malfeasance by map drawers, causes the lack of Republican seats, with none of the thousands of alternative plans reviewed for the state resulting in low levels of partisan bias.​

​

Elsewhere, the parties have gerrymandered congressional districts fairly evenly:

The 10 Worst Gerrymandered States in the Country

Monday marked another escalation in the mid-cycle redistricting fight between Republicans in Texas and Democrats in California – with one in another special session to add 5 more GOP seats, and the other maneuvering to counter this with 5 new Democratic seats.

How is that Democratic? Are the Democrats "Kings of NE"?

Excluding states w/ only 1 representative (which can't be gerrymandered):15 states have one-party House delegations.
8 are GOP (AR, ID, IA, MT, NE, OK, UT, WV)
7 are Dem (CT, HI, ME, MA, NH, NM, RI)

The 15 states encompass 51 representatives: 26 GOP & 25 Dem.

So it like it happens on both side but trust GOP to be in the lead...

 

[CowboyTed]

&
One republican senator
2 indies.

I'm from Vermont
where we have no representation.

The last honest politician
from Vermont was Jim jeffords.

Well Maryland isn't gerrymandered... It is the product of one man one vote system

https://www.politico.com/2024-election/results/maryland/house/

As for Vermont

How can you gerrymander in that state? There is only one seat in the house..

 

[CowboyTed]

Simple solution is the international solution...

Have multiple seat districts(3, 4, 5 where possible) with preference voting for EVERY State in the country...

Voters vote candidates in order of preference, counting happens like below..

This was a 5 seater (i.e. 5 seats are up for grabs)...

Here is your big disadvantage, look how many parties there were running? I think I counted 11 parties and 4 independents... This means there is someone on the ballot that suits you preference...
Hard left is PBP-Solidarty
The most to the right probably The Irish People but Irish Freedom over that side too...

It is nearly impossible to Gerrymander, was tried in the 1970s and backfired spectacularly...

Self serving stats. These stats from CA show the disparity more clearly. These stats suggest that 53% of California voters are represented by a mere 17% of representatives. Hmmm.

California's current congressional delegation consists of 52 representatives, with 43 Democrats and 9 Republicans. This reflects a Democratic majority in the state's representation in the U.S. House of Representatives. Wikipedia Ballotpedia

• In our surveys over the past year, 47% of likely voters—registered voters who cast ballots frequently and are politically engaged—report that they are Democrats; 27% are Republicans, 24% are independents, and 2% are registered with other parties.

Shove it. We are Americans. Not globalists. We lead the world.

So New England states are smarter than MAGA, good to know.

(Note: I said MAGA, not Republican. Those are two different things. You can be Republican, but not a MAGA cultist.)

Is this MAGA in the room with you now?

Let the "votes" shake out as they will.

Here in California voters demanded it and we've had an independent commission draw our District lines in 2008.

Governor hairgel is repealing that law and going back to having the democrats draw the lines for the 2026 midterms and the 2028 Presidential elections.

Sounds good on paper. But nothing changed with the make-up of the commission. CA is still terribly gerrymandered as their 43-9 majority democrat congressional delegation clearly shows in spite of only 45% democrat voters.

Just because it is one of the most Alphabet Mafia states doesn't prove it doesn't cheat in elections. It does. Pretty much all of the "deep blue states" have "electronic voting machines" and use them to cheat.

Gerrymandering is real. With a near fifty/fifty congress total bullying form the party with a few more seats or a near 50/50 senate pushing their agendas through. I look at our nation as groups. I have typed it repeatedly. You say Trump did not have a mandate. Yet you have shoved your legislation through from the same thing. The New England States and the northeast states combined is a mostly Progressive controlled federal entity. Land wise smaller than the larger states and have huge populations.
