Yes, it is... And the recent decision by the Supreme Court to NOT interfere with gerrymandering is a landmark assault on our democracy. The v**er suppression continues to operate under the guise of protecting our e******ns from v***r f***d, which is a unicorn if there ever was one.

The problem is that with every e******n, America is less inclined to v**e Republican, so the GOP has to resort to dirty tricks to stay in power which is why the last two Republican presidents won e******ns despite loosing popular v**es.

And now B***h McConnell is sitting on all the v**er protection bills saying that e******ns are a matter of state policy and the federal government should stay out. But notice he isn't saying anything about the federal government's E*******l College overruling the v**es of millions of Americans.

The E*******l College is a broken system. It was designed to provide surrogate v**ers based on the number of representatives which was supposed to increase with the population to maintain a 700,000 to 1 ratio. But the federal government stopped increasing the number of representatives after the 1913 census and since then, all regions of increased population have lost representation relative to regions with slower growth, such as the red states.

The myth is that the E*******l College was designed to protect smaller states from bigger states but that's a misunderstanding that comes from the fact that to get the Southern states to ratify the Constitution, the population that determines the number of representatives had to include s***es as 3/5th humans. So it's the number of representatives that the E*******l College is based on that was affected by that agreement, not it's purpose and that agreement became obsolete in 1868 when s***ery was abolished anyway.

The real reason for holding on to the E*******l College is that Republicans need it to overrule the popular v**e and keep themselves in power. It just so happens that the regions with slower population growth also tend to suffer from lower levels of education, making them over-represented AND under-educated. Perfect marks for the rhetorical strategy of the GOP.

Recent analysis is suggesting that Trump could loose the popular v**e by as much as five million and STILL win the e******n in 2020 by virtue of uneven representation alone. V**er suppression and gerrymandering is the good measure Republicans are taking to ensure they don't loose by more than five million.

Just to put that number in perspective... There are only 1 million soldiers currently in the U.S. Army including the Reserve and the National Guard. There are less than a million police officers in total for the entire country. Total NRA membership is currently at 5.5 million and 26 of the states in the union have total populations of less than 5 million. So I'm gonna say that the over five million Americans that the Republicans want to exclude is... significant.

Who's blaming you? Are you responsible for the gerrymandering? I don't think so. We aren't blaming Republican sheep, it's the Republican politicians that are suppressing v**es through gerrymandering and so-called v***r f***d systems like Kobach's i***t crosscheck system.
