Democrats, ever the lying scumbags I know most of them to be lie about gerrymandering. Without question, Democrats gerrymander more and far worse than Republican-controlled states.
Even RINO former California Governor Arnold Schwarzeneggar called out Gavin Newsom.
Gerrymandering by the numbers
Because of what Schwarzeneggar said, I decided to look at the numbers.

The Analysis
While they rail about how “gerrymandering” is a terrible breach of democracy, the data screams they’ve been pulling the string.
I reviewed the states where Donald Trump’s 2024 popular vote margin diverged meaningfully from the congressional delegation breakdown. I excluded 21 states
- If the vote margin closely aligned with congressional seats
- or the state only has 1–3 representatives because a single seat swing in those states creates massive percentage swings
I kept states where the vote margin was meaningfully greater or lesser than the proportional House-seat count. What remained was 29 states where divergence was significant enough to suggest more than mere coincidence.
In those 29 states: Republicans hold an advantage in 17 states, Democrats in 12. If you convert that to actual House-member counts, Democrats have a 36-seat advantage vs. Republicans’ 26-seat advantage. If everything were fair and aligned with Trump’s vote numbers, Republicans would be owed an additional 10 seats. That’s not a minor wiggle—it’s a flashing red light on the scoreboard.
Now, please note: I’m using the official vote counts, which the left conveniently labels “sacred.” But as we all know, that’s the floor—not the ceiling. Millions of illegal votes? We’ll leave that aside for now, because even based on the recorded numbers, Democrats still hold the structural advantage. So when the Democrats yell “gerrymandering!” like they just discovered instant replay, they’re conveniently forgetting the score.
The Myth of Republican ‘Advantage’—Laughed out loud by institutional research
The narrative they want you to swallow: “Republicans are the map-riggers, the bad guys, they draw lines to steal seats.” But real research begs to differ. For instance:
- The Brennan Center for Justice’s analysis found that, overall in this redistricting cycle, the maps favor Republicans, estimating a GOP advantage of about 16 House seats from map-drawing alone. (Yes, irony alert.) Brennan Center for Justice
- The Brookings Institution published a piece titled “The gerrymander myth” explaining that it isn’t clear Republicans hold the advantage lately, contrary to the handwringing from the left.
So—let’s pause the hypocrisy: when the left screams “map fraud!”, their own data suggest the system leans against them right now.
Why the left’s whining about disproportionate outcomes is especially funny
They lecture about fairness, equity, “one person, one vote,” while sitting on structural advantages they fought tooth-and-nail to build. Then they limp into courtrooms, framing themselves as victims. Meanwhile, you’re looking at the state-by-state data showing them with a net seat gain just by how the lines were drawn.
Democrats have historically derived structural benefits from map-drawing, incumbency advantages and “safe seats.”
Next, if Republicans are earning 10 more seats by the math alone under these conditions, then in a truly fair map scenario—and ignoring illegal voting concerns—the GOP would be in significantly stronger shape. The Left’s current war-cry (“stop the gerrymanders”) is disingenuous when their own advantage is baked into the system. They didn’t get there by honesty; they got there by shape-shifting the field. In truth, the map-drawing process matters to the final outcome far more than many voters realize.
Pushback: “It’s just geography!”
Right on cue, you’ll hear: “Well, duh, Democrats cluster in cities. That’s why they waste votes.” The Left has loved that one for decades. But:
- Geographic clustering helps both parties in different states.
- It also doesn’t absolve party operatives from manipulating map lines.
- The complexity is real—and when you review studies like those of the ALARM Project at Harvard, you see that while geography plays a role, the partisan-map effect is not negligible. Harvard News
So yes: geography is part of the story. But it’s only part of the story—and the Left doesn’t get to pick and choose.
Accuse Republicans of what Democrats are Doing
Just when the Democrats thought their narrative was planted deep—it stirs in the wind. For example, Hakeem Jeffries and other left-leaders promote the idea that Republican gerrymandering is the root of the problem. Know why? Because it’s easier to turn the tables than to admit you built the table. They want to deflect.
But the numbers don’t support their claim. The math from actual map-analysis from non-partisan sources shows GOP map-draws dominate in many states right now. The left’s outrage is script-flipped. They don’t get to cast themselves as victims and architects simultaneously and expect to get away with it.
A quick caveat: my analysis is limited—and fair
Let me pause for full transparency:
My numbers exclude the “illegal voting” factor. If millions of illegals cast ballots for Kamala Harris, the real Republican advantage would be larger than the 11 extra seats I estimated.
Map-analysis is messy. Some research finds the net national seat-bias from gerrymandering to be modest. For example, the ALARM Project estimated the pro-Republican bias declined from about 16 seats to 10 seats in the 2020 cycle.
In spite of those limitations—the conservative view holds stronger: the Left built a war-machine, and Republicans are now exposing it. The numbers don’t lie.
Democrats picked this war
And here’s the knockout line: Democrats picked this war. They spent decades stacking districts, building safe-seat pipelines, and erasing competitive races. They let the rigged boards sit until the bill came due. Now that Republicans are analyzing, exposing and pushing back, the Left is squealing about “unfair map terror.” Too late, folks. The game board is flipped.
As we stand on the brink of the next redistricting cycle, let’s remember: the Left has an advantage they refuse to publicly acknowledge, despite the sequencing of math, data and reality. So when they rant about Republicans having a map advantage—check the scoreboard. Because the real cheat sheets belong to them.
