[compiling & adapting a birdsite thread here for preservation]

I turned off a radio program in anger today when @Brian_Bosma claimed Hoosiers elect Republican super majorities bc we love @indgop policies and not bc his party gerrymandered the fuck out of our state.

Election results are easily accessible on Wikipedia: For the Indiana house, @INDems took 40% of the vote but only won 29% of the seats. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2020_Indiana_House_of_Representatives_election

In the governor’s race, almost 12% of the electorate voted Libertarian. We have 0 Libertarian elected officials at the state or federal level. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2020_Indiana_gubernatorial_election

At the federal level, just 58.5% of Hoosiers voted for Republicans candidates for U.S. Representative and 57% for president. Accordingly, the GOP won 77% of the congressional races and all of our electoral votes.

So don’t let @Brian_Bosma or anyone else lie to you about why we have Republican supermajorities. It’s because the @indgop drew a map they couldn’t lose.
