While gerrymandering in 2010 by the House of Reps. resulted in less of a gain in the House when compared to the Tea Party mandate of their 2010 election, it backfired on them by creating an all time low approval rating for the House Republicans just one year ago. Despite the Voting Rights Act, courts use gerrymandering to suppress minority votes, as in the Texas voter Id case and upheld by the conservative U S Supreme Court, recently. Dont worry the democrats will do well due to strong grassroot movements and unprecedented democratic turnout for this mid term according to Obama in a Sharpton interview. While the Republicans seem confident to keep the House and possibly take the Senate, Obama says dont worry the dems will have a record turn out and a subsequent role reversal of the 2010 and 2012 congressional elections in favor of the democrats? Who is right, only time will tell!
