The people at ThinkProgress and elsewhere are selling this same "stolen election" meme for the U.S. House.
They also have the same tool steel mental block I'm dealing with on this board.
If it's all about the 2011 redistricting, how the hell did the Republicans pick up 64 House seats in Washington in 2010, a year before the last redistricting ever took place?
If you want to go back to the previous redistricting, in 2001, and theorize that the Republicans cooked that one, then you'd better have a good explanation for 2006 and 2008, when the Democrats picked up a combined 52 seats in the U.S. House.
Your premise blows goats, Robert. It's entirely based on a number from Wikipedia that is unsourced, and doesn't even appear on the same page for 2010. Not only that, but when looked at in the light of previous elections, it falls apart in several places.
When you scrape the paranoid lunacy off this year's election in Michigan, even assuming those Wiki numbers are right, we have a Democratic plus margin in votes cast of about 7 percent, and a Democratic gain in seats of about 5 percent. What's the problem here?
