Obama cites chilling stat from my new article on impact of extreme gerrymandering in Wisconsin: "Democrats have to win statewide vote by 12 points just to get to 50 seats in the assembly, while Republicans could garner a majority with just 44% of votes" https://t.co/aZYAbyXasY https://t.co/YYJPAxAIvk

In the WI competitive authoritarian state the gerrymandered legislature and the supreme court are unwilling to accept the risk that the voters might disagree with them. And so they have established a political system where it’s heads I win, tails you lose. https://t.co/ec2VVPjc0s

Wisconsin is not a democracy. Given gerrymandering, the outcome of the midterms for the Wisconsin legislature is pre-ordained, despite the fact it is a purple state. It’s been that way for a decade and it will be that way for at least another decade. https://t.co/mIzV1lizCD

Other than the US Supreme Court, the Wisconsin Supreme Court is the most partisan and corrupt in America. Today's blatantly partisan decision to ban dropboxes confirms that. Outrageous and despicable.
