An example of the general effect of nationalizing Congressional elections, it killed the idea of southerners thinking their Democratic Party congressman was a conservative.

1992 Texas.

This article/inquiry has been obviously contrived to stimulate discussion concerning gerrymandering, especially as it relates to the news in Texas.

However I suggest that there are factors that promote Democrat control which ought to be discussed:

1. State of the economy (Great Depression, 2008)

2. War footing (World War II, World War I vs. Vietnam)

3. Race (perhaps the longest influential factor)
