ANTI-Democracy minority rule regimes in ALL 50 States —
1/2 or less votes x 1/2 rigged packed/cracked gerrymander areas = 1/4 or less CONTROL.

We have a joke in Massachusetts:
Q; Which towns have been named for former Governors?
A: Peabody, Marblehead, and Athol.

“(not wanting to appear stupid) Oh yeah. How about Greenfield?”
“That’s stupid.”
“It is not. Think about it. GREENFIELD”
“Explain it to me.
“It’s not funny if I have to explain it.
Shirley? You jest. No Taunton.
