Elections are won in the primaries

As far as I know, I and my ex-wife's families were always Republicans, whereas we were Democrats.NoNukes, have you ever watched the movie, Watchmen? Everybody's living in a degenerate Republican's wet dream in which any non-Republican vote is voting for the commies.Several years ago, my brother-in-law, long retired from civil service and a life-long Republican, one day suddenly declared to me that he had come to realize that, as a retired person, the Republicans were not his friends. A breakthrough? No. A few years later at an inter-family gathering that same brother-in-law learned that I had voted for Obama and he was absolutely bewildered that anybody could have voted Democrat. Rather, knowing that the Republicans are not his friends, how could he have voted Republican?

True, though perhaps not for Rrhain's exact same reasons.Gerrymandering. I remember one district in So Calif that linked a beach community with an area very seriously inland over an extremely narrow unpopulated area. So who controls gerrymandering? The party in power.Do you really want to control elections? Control the gerrymandering.Every ten years, there's a census. Every wonder why? Because that census is how the government knows how to appropriate the population to their representation in the House of Representatives, which is appropriated by population.
