Democrat Gerrymandering in Georgia?
There is an interesting fact in A Lesson From Hamas: Read the Voting Law's Fine Print in February 19, 2006 New York Times by James Glanz.
He writes:
“2004 Georgia Congressional elections. In those elections, with 13 seats up for grabs, 1.8 million votes were cast for Republicans, who won 7 seats, and 1.1 million for Democrats, who won 6.”
■ Georgia Democrats got 1.1 million congressional votes or 38% of the vote but elected 6 Congressmen or 46% of the total
■ Georgia Repulicans got 1.8 million congressional votes or 62% of the vote but only elected 7 Congressmen or 54% of the total
