The

But they’re wrong for attributing this map to “luck”—it’s the result of successfully executing our comprehensive plan led by

Gerrymandered political districts have previously favored Republicans. But after the recent redrawing of zones, the U.S. congressional map is more evenly split.

Just so we are all clear: exit polls are a random, non-representative, smattering of respondents and likely have nearly zero accuracy.

Democracy, as a system, is designed for voters to have the power and the voice — not to silence the people or their elected leaders.
Gerrymandering enables minority rule — and it’s on full display in Tennessee. These republicans don’t feel any accountability to the people.
Wow: Tennessee state Rep. Justin Jones, one of the Dems that the GOP is trying to expel from state legislature to protesting gun violence, calls out his colleagues on the floor
‘For years, one of your colleagues, an admitted child molester, sat in this chamber – no expulsion’
