USA: Time to ditch electoral college?

[Lemur]

Actually, if you could Read The Friendly Manual, or rather the shortish article I linked, you will see that the Dems are measurably worse at gerrymandering. So sadly, in states where they control the districting, you do not see the same effect. Which means the popular will of the electorate comes dangerously close to being represented.

Seriously, I am not linking to 100-page PDFs. I don't see why it's such a bother to read even, say, the text I pull out and repost.

Salient sentence: "This isn’t as true for Democratic-controlled redistricting, and not just because Democrats ran redistricting in only six states. Democrats are just worse at gerrymandering when they get the chance."
