by house republicans did something
interesting in last week's election
essentially
lost in the popular vote but one
developed world boat let me tell you
what i mean by that house republicans
maintain control of the house however if
you actually look at the number of votes
cast
democrats
in the house received about half a
million more boats have ended
republicans in house races what is this
basically tell us
redistricting has been very very
effective at drawing the lines between
different districts in such an absurd
way
so as to maximize the number of seats
even though popular support is not
representative of the number of seats
held their analysis
very fair of course both parties are
guilty of this but uh...
well one effect
both parties certainly have too many
times to do it
however republicans had actually been
successful in doing this because of the
controlled eight out of the times were
redistricting and the census took place
they've actually been able to get much
more benefit from
complied
you're locked you up
net on you want to comment
it is if you look the democrats uh...
have done this over the course of
history they did it
uh... after the two thousand ten census
in illinois in maryland it's just that
the republicans controlled so many more
state legislatures that they were able
to actually
uh... create this obstetrician we have
where they lost the popular vote on the
house and control fifty four percent of
states
