Gerrymandering for Federal and State Congress seats. Its going on right under your nose and undermining your right to vote. What can we do about it?

Can we sue? I don't think simply writing your congressmen will solve this one

Vote Democratic for President and get Supreme Court justices and appellate judges appointed to overturn gerrymandered districts. In 2012, Democrats won more than 1 million more votes than Republicans in House races but only received 201 seats vs 234 for Republicans.

I believe that California where Republicans could probably be gerrymandered out of existence did something about it.

We did and we did it in a non partisan way. Crazy how dems aren't the same as repubs!
