Gerrymandering has destroyed local politics here.

I was just half listening but I think MSNBC just stated something like :
Nationwide Dems got 54% of the votes and Republicans got 36% of the collective votes. Gerrymandering causes that.

Also, many of us have been up all night. Personally every local Dem lost. Tempers are short. It’s easy to take comments the wrong way.
