Michigan:
Sort by Margin, look for the close races in 2020:
ALEC has gerrymandered State House and Senate Races
John Oliver explains it well (Some Dirty Words – HBO)
34.9% of State Legislative Races had only one (1!) candidate
In 2020, 2,048 state legislative seats, 34.9% of all seats up for election, did not have major party competition. When a candidate from only one of either the Democratic or Republican parties runs for a state legislative seat, the seat is all but guaranteed to be won by that party.
US Senate races can not be gerrymandered so ALEC and Kochs want to abolish the 17th Amendment
“The right wing is looking to accomplish through gerrymandering what it can’t do at the ballot box.”
“Now that GOP state legislators have control over 32 state legislatures (both chambers), thanks in large part to partisan gerrymandering, some extremists are preparing to use their clout to gerrymander the U.S. Senate.
This week in Denver, July 19-21, the American Legislative Exchange Council (ALEC) will welcome Republican state legislators and its corporate funders, including Koch Industries, ExxonMobil, K12 Inc., Peabody Energy, and PhRMA, to vote on corporate legislative priorities and create cookie cutter “model” bills in task force meetings that are still closed to the press.
ALEC will welcome U.S. Education Secretary Betsy DeVos, Labor Secretary Alexander Acosta, Secretary of the Interior Ryan Zinke, Newt Gingrich and other Trump loyalists to the meeting.
On the agenda for debate and discussion? A model bill to repeal the 17th Amendment, which established the popular election of United States Senators in 1913.”
Let’s Look at North Carolina, Pennsylvania, Michigan, New York and Texas ‘Competitiveness’ according to 538,
There are 435 US House Seats
Don’t get me started on the Electoral College
