Americans didn't intend to elect a Republican majority to the House

Oh, please.

Stop saying "Americans" as if we are each just a part of a collective with nothing but a collective will. That is the core tenet of Fascism: that the individual does not for all political or practical purposes exist, just the collective.

Every person who voted for a Republican intended to elect that Republican. Every person who voted for a Democrat intended to elect that Democrat.

It makes little sense to compare total popular vote by party for the House, because each House district has its own slate of candidates. The Democrat candidate in a deeply conservative district might be farther to the right than the Republican candidate in a deeply liberal district.

The more suburban/rural party gaining an edge over the more urban party is a natural result of any kind of geographical based representation.

Plus the Dems play the same game when they can: http://www.propublica.org/article/in-california-democrats-re...

Do you have an alternative strategy? Should it matter at all which district you live in?

What would be the consequences of representatives coming straight from population breakdown? Worse schools in districts with smaller populations?

Of course, according to the article, gerrymandering only helps the reds. The blues must not have any of their own gerrymandered districts (see Maryland for a case in point).

stopped listening when he said NC. NC already has two damn gerrymandered democratic districts, it doesn't need to gerrymander any more.

I didnt realize I was following a political blog.

I also like how you failed to mention that this is a constitutional process that democrats exploit just as frequently as republicans.
