Democrats try to reshape, not persuade, the electorate
By Lowell Ponte
In 1812, Massachusetts governor Elbridge Gerry tried rigging elections by redrawing district boundaries so his Democratic-Republican Party (the forerunner of today's Democratic Party) would win more seats. One such district was shaped like a salamander, which critics called a "Gerrymander."
The Democrats ever since have used trickery to win.
Unelected Pennsylvania Supreme Court judges voted along partisan lines, 5-2, to control the legislature's power to draw congressional districts. In 2000, Democrats tried to throw out overseas ballots by Florida soldiers, and the far left Center for American Progress this February proposed making it harder for Americans in uniform to vote overseas, because soldiers tend to vote as conservatives. In 2016, Virginia's Gov. Terry McAuliffe issued an executive order giving votes to more than 100,000 felons, who vote up to 88 percent Democratic.
