Opinion - Gerrymandering is the biggest obstacle to genuine democracy in the United States. So why is no one protesting?
Quote:
There is an enormous paradox at the heart of American democracy. Congress is deeply and stubbornly unpopular. On average, between 10 and 15 percent of Americans approve of Congress – on a par with public support for traffic jams and cockroaches. And yet, in the 2016 election, only eight incumbents – eight out of a body of 435 representatives – were defeated at the polls.
Gerrymandering, in a word, is why American democracy is broken.
