Political Factoid

In the 2012 elections, one million more
Americans voted for Democratic candidates
to the House of Representatives (Congress)
than voted for Republican candidates.
Despite this, the GOP retained control
of the House of Representatives.
Decades of de facto political corruption had
"stacked the deck" to favor Republicans winning
seats (through gerrymandering, control of local
election processes, etc.).
