And in PA, they have gerrymandering down to an art form. And Voter ID requirements. I don't know how we will ever reverse it.

Democrats do the same thing.

My problem with the democratic party is the overwhelming attention paid to national politics when it is the party in control of the statehouses that draw the seats.

The time to really get serious is 2018 and 2020 at the state level.

The elections in 2010 meant so much to me here in PA, but still the Republicans had control of the House and Senate here. We now have a clusterfuck. Too many people just don't understand the significance, and with each redistricting, it becomes harder and harder to elect a Democrat.
