Because of gerrymandering we have to rethink the way we vote - LINK
REPUBLICANS RIGGING THE RULES: 

Thanks To Gerrymandering, Democrats Would Need To Win The Popular Vote By Over 7 Percent To Take Back The House

In an important segment in the January 15 edition of the Rachel Maddow Show, she shows how the Republicans are using gerrymandering to screw up the electoral process, in a program they call Redmap (Redistricting Majority Project).

This is the link to the article at the Maddow blog.  Quoting from the RedMap project, they have posted:

President Obama won reelection in 2012 by nearly 3 points nationally, and banked 126 more electoral votes than Governor Mitt Romney.  Democratic candidates for the U.S. House won 1.1 million more votes than their Republican opponents.  But the Speaker of the U.S. House of Representatives is a Republican and presides over a 33-seat House Republican majority during the 113th Congress.  How? One needs to look no farther than four states that voted Democratic on a statewide level in 2012, yet elected a strong Republican delegation to represent them in Congress: Michigan, Ohio, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin.

Of course  Obama won reelection by 4 points, not 3.

Republicans are planning to assign electoral votes according to the heavily gerrymandered districts.  Example: the state of Pennsylvania in 2012.  It went overall for Obama, so its 20 electoral votes were all cast for Obama.  However, if this idea were implemented, based on the 18 heavily gerrymandered districts, 5 of the 18 votes would have gone for Obama, 13 for Romney (not sure about the other two).
