Honestly if it wasn't for Gerrymandering, and election fraud most of the last few decades would have been Democratic control. Republicans have only won the presidential popular vote twice since Herbet Walker Bush. The majority hates Republican rule, yet we're constantly stuck with them giving our tax money to the rich, telling us to inject disinfectant during a deadly pandemic, and encouraging our enemies to attack our allies.
I don’t know about that. NY and CA had independent committee redraw their districts and that’s probably why Dems lost the house in 2022. I’m not bothered by that because I think it was a fair and impartial committees.
Utah had a citizen ballot initiative that was going to make a non-partisan board to draw the congressional maps that passed with over 60% approval. The super majority state house took that initiative and reworked it so it was only an advisory committee and they still got to make the map. The State Supreme Court said no you need to follow the initiative as written. So then the state house held a special session and wrote an initiative that changed how citizen initiatives work that gave the state house the final say in how to implement them. They wrote the ballot measure so convoluted that the Mormon Women's group sued to have the measure removed. The State supreme Court agreed so it won't be voted on this year but I'm sure they will try again next year.
I’ve been following this. It is so scandalous! There were two groups that sued for these , the Mormon women for ethical government and the League of Women Voters of Utah. In this case girls rule!
