Billy O’Gurek, Chairman of the Carbon County Democratic Party, spoke about the November election at the CCDC meeting tonight in Jim Thorpe. In the course of his analysis, he noted that in all the races for seats in the House of Representatives, the Democrats received hundreds of thousands more votes than the Republicans but only won 200 of the 435 seats.
In Pennsylvania the cumulative total for Democratic candidates was approximately 75,000 higher than the total for their Republican opponents, yet the Republicans won 13 seats; the Democrats won 5. That is what a gerrymander does. The next time you hear some Republican go on about voter fraud, mention the gerrymander. That’s real fraud.
