    Now imagine Texas is the entirety of US

    Over half of Trump’s cabinet is from Florida

    Forgot to mention that out electoral system is more straightforward, so it doesn’t allow for gerrymandering

    That’s absolutely false

      That’s not the point

      That’s absolutely false

      Explain how.

      Gerrymandering is manipulation of electoral results using differently drawn district maps. Russia doesn’t use districts to decide winners in each one. Instead, all of the votes are combined. Think of it as a one massive district. Whoever gets majority in that one district wins the elections. In this system votes are always proportionate to electorate, therefore gerrymandering cannot physically happen.

      Instead, Russia’s incumbent uses other ways of electoral fraud. Main ones I have already listed.
