Dismantling Democracy: How Gerrymandering has Stolen Your Voice and Undermined Our Political System.
Our elections have become irrelevant. In Pennsylvania, 90,000 more citizens voted to elect Democrats to represent them in Washington than Republicans.
Yet Pennsylvanians are represented in Congress by 13 Republicans and only 5 Democrats.
Senator Daylin Leach explores the reasons why your vote no longer matters; why Congress can't get anything done; why there is no incentive for legislators to be reasonable; and how a political minority has undermined the fundamental principles of our Democracy.
