"Elect me to destroy America."

"There are very few Americans -- and frankly, probably very few people worldwide at this point -- who don't have a pretty crystallized attitude about Donald Trump. I don't think he can appeal to uncertain voters," Klar said. "At this point, his best strategy is to garner as much enthusiasm among the people that already like him."

All of the enthusiasm in the world doesn't matter if you are only 28% of the electorate.

Gerrymandering and voter suppression have entered the chat.

And in the back, Thomas and Alito wear matching grins and wait for the case to hit the docket.

Gerrymandering won’t really affect a presidential election.

You are correct. Electors are per state, most states being winner takes all. A handful split them. But both are handled by statewide popular vote.

No, but it can affect state/local policies for voting. When I lived in NC in a majority-black area, I had to wait in line for literally hours to vote. A lot of people can't afford to wait that long, or can't physically do it. In Illinois? Tons of early voting options and lines are usually really short with little to no wait.
