Gerrymandering by the GOP won the house for them. Statewide -Fewer votes but they still took the house seat

The GOP have a report basically bragging about how they were able to take the House Of Representatives even when the GOP got fewer votes statewide than the Democrats in some states.  Gerrymandering allowed them to get republican votes in key House Districts to elect their person.  they now have plans to do the same and take the Presidency with electoral College votes.  They feel they can get fewer Popular Votes but win with Electoral Votes.  Changes are taking place now at State Houses after the wins in House Districts.
