Just trying to figure it all out [View all]

We're seeing gerrymandering stories and legal cases everywhere. We're also seeing polling showing Trump's and Republican actions and policies are not at all popular with Americans by wide margins. My question is how can we be so sure that Congressional districts will go to one party or another? The American voter is not a fool. Can't a historically reliable Republican District have a lot of voters who are totally pissed off and hate this Administration? Can't they surprise those who study such things and vote Democratic? We're not sheep and we celebrate our democracy, don't we?
