    If every state went full Gerrymander, Republicans have more trifectas by number of states, but Democrats gain more based on population and house seats.

      Can’t even say that since the last 30 special elections show that the independents are **done ** with the pedo GOP & they are a much larger cohort than either the GOP or Democrats.

      This is the reason why Florida won’t actually be redistricted.

      Whats a trifecta? Is it House, Senate, Governorship?

      So, the Republicans control more, due to winning more State Senates and Governorships but there are more, in raw number of reps, Democrats elected to the State Houses?

        not quite. they’re saying Republicans would control more state Congresses and governorships, but Democrats would get more federal congressional seats.

        but if Republicans control more states, they’d also control more federal Senate seats
