Interesting and worthy of its own thread. Actually our national elections are very much gerrymandered in its own way. The vote value of a person in a small state is hugely more important than one in a large state. Gerrymandering is done to create safe districts. We have at least 40 of our 50 states as safe districts for one party or the other. There are a few swing states. If we instead went to a truly national election by abolishing the electoral college, then every voter in every state would have an equal say in the outcome. In its most extreme, a person could win the Presidency with 22% of the votes cast. The Orbital: Electoral college shenanigans, ctd: lose the Presidency with 78.05% of the vote
As of 2008 a voter in Wyoming had over 3 times the effective vote of one in Pennsylvania.
