(4,557 posts)The majority of voters in House elections voted for Republicans by roughly 3 million votes or 3%. They won 51% of the seats with 50.6% of the total vote. We got 49% of the seats with 47.8% of the vote.
Gerrymandering had little effect on the makeup of the house. The only real effect is has is concentrating red seats in red states and blue seats in blue states.
Think. Again.
