4. If the fix is in for Republicans, why the gerrymander fight?

Reply to red dog 1 (Original post)

Thursday

Why would they gerrymander districts if they control the vote count?

Why would they throw millions into the races during the last year and a half, and then lose, if they control the vote count?

Why are they fussing over the mid-terms, if they already know they will win through chicanery?

How have they lost 30 special elections since Trump took office, if the fix is in for Republicans?
