The US House Was Biased Toward Democrats in 2022: Why Republicans Are Developing a Geography Problem
Decision Desk HQ ^ | November 29, 2022 | Zachary Donnini

In the 2012 Presidential Election, Democrat Barack Obama decisively defeated Republican Mitt Romney. Obama won 332 electoral votes and the national Presidential popular vote by nearly 4%. Despite this crushing victory, Obama headed into his second term in office without a majority in the US House. House Republicans lost the popular vote by 1% but still won a 234-201 majority in the chamber. This outcome did not surprise shrewd political observers—Republicans held a considerable structural advantage in the US House throughout the 2010s. In fact, according to FairVote, Republicans would expect to win a 241-194 majority in a tied national House popular vote. This means that by only winning 50% of the vote, Republicans were assured a crushing majority in the US House.

Exactly.

The national DNC vote fraud machine didn't have enough cash for New York and California.

That's where the TRUE results leaked out.

The analysis in this article in interesting.

It argues that MAGAism has won votes among Blacks and Latinos in urban areas, but not enough to win any of those house seats.

At the same time it has cost the votes of high income whites in the suburbs. Those tend to be swing seats and the GOP lost a bunch of those.

Here’s the problem exit polls show the republicans lost the 18-35 crowd by around 25 points enough to swing many close districts the gop should have won. Donald Trump had little to do with that as the GOP targeted crime and the economy two things people those age could care less about as most live with their parents.
The issues those people care about are abortion, student loan forgiveness, and the climate change hoax. The RNC literally had no message targeting young voters. They need to get on Tik Tok Chinese government be damned, the need to go after colleges for tuition rates, the need to get a coherent message on abortion. They can win on these issues it’s just do they really want to?
