Gerrymandering!

Gerrymandering is just another tool that the powerful and wealthy, who control our House and Senate, use to get between the American voters and their voted choices. It works just like the Electoral College in that at a crucial time and place it allows the hidden arms of wealth and power another shot at gaining more control, another shot at getting their preferred and purchased crony elected. Politician's use it, when they can, to beat the system we, the people, have set up to keep the criminal element in check during our important elections. The system we set up to protect us from this criminal element has failed. The wealthy and powerful now use our powerful government to protect them from their illegal activities just like the powerful police have co-opted the courts and the Grand Jury system that would try them for their wrong doings. It only works for them now!
