Re-Districting & Majority Votes | National Catholic Reporter

Re-Districting & Majority Votes | National Catholic Reporter by MSW.  MGB: It is actually quite clear that this is due to redistricting and this is shameful.  It also shows the ineptitude of the Democrats who did not organize more to get new voters out to vote in 2009 and 2010 elections.  It will take a decade to undo this and put in non-partisan redistricting.  I suspect that the Democrats are leery of permanent reforms because demographically they will have an overwhelming majority next time, and will be able to consign the Republicans into obscurity in 2020 using the current rules - this is assuming the GOP and the current Democratic coalition survives that long.  If the GOP becomes a workers party and the Dems become the elite party, the whole dynamic may change.
