If there’s one thing humans are good at, it’s gaming systems. John Oliver goes after the dirty political practice of gerrymandering.
In Pennsylvania, forty-four percent of the voters chose Democratic candidates for the House of Representatives in 2014, but 13 of the 18 districts, more than two-thirds, are represented by Republicans.
In Ohio, about forty percent of the voters chose Democratic candidates for the House of Representatives, but 12 out of 16 seats, three-quarters of them, are represented by Republicans.
Those numbers are way out of proportion to what people should expect. You wouldn’t accept Neapolitan ice cream that was seventy-five percent strawberry. How is that okay? What perverts voted for this?
