Georgia’s Stunning GOP Gerrymander

June 7, 2021 · 2:00 pm ET · Leave a Comment

Daily Kos: “Despite his statewide loss, Donald Trump carried 31 Senate seats to Biden’s 25, as well as 94 House districts compared to 86 for Biden.”

“Diving deeper, we can sort each district in each chamber by Biden’s margin of victory over Trump to see how the seat in the middle—known as the median seat—voted. Because both chambers have an even number of seats, we average the two middle seats to come up with the median point in each chamber.”

“Taking this approach, we find that the median Senate seat backed Trump 57% to 42%, a full 15 points to the right of his statewide margin.”
