2. Excellent News Wisconsin Helps Republicans In A Criminal Way

Their state is so gerrymandered Democrats would have to get 70% of the vote to have a majority in the state houses, or something like that.

I, this Democrat, is sick of a "system" that helps Republicans keep power by gerrymandering and basically screwing voters.

With 54% of the votes the Dems get 1/3 of the seats.

We get screwed in Wisconsin.
