also gerrymandering only counts for the house not the senate and president on a national level. plus you have tons of non party votes at the local level

Doesn’t that mean the states are just gerrymandered voting districts?
Only way I can parse nominees winning while earning fewer popular votes than their peers… cough (Republicans)

You could look at it that way. I think gerrymandering specifically refers to lines being drawn specifically to create advantage or disadvantage in voting though, and we don’t move state lines that way. So it’s more just like bad district allocation?
