Wouldn’t the numbers support his claim?
Elsewhere and often I have seen it claimed that more
Americans voted for Democratic candidates for congress than voted for Republicans,
and that the Republican majority in the house was achieved because of Republican
gerrymandering of the districts.
Nationally, if the votes in the Electoral College are tied
to congressional districts the gerrymandering would have the same effect,
giving the Republicans a huge and clearly anti-democratic edge.
But that doesn’t mean the numbers regarding only Pennsylvania
congressional districts would bear out this complaint.
