Gerrymandering diminishes accountability in the legislature, - TopicsExpress



          

Gerrymandering diminishes accountability in the legislature, particularly in the House of Delegates. Howell and his minions have almost no reason to fear retaliation in general elections. Their biggest threat comes in nomination contests where purists could challenge delegates who prefer effective governing to pointless posturing. The Byrd Organization kept its grip by limiting the electorate. Republicans in the House keep their grip by ensuring that votes do not matter. The disgrace invites the unpleasantness Virginia is enduring. PLEASE SHARE -->
