It is interesting that 85% of those in the House were elected by less than 5% margins. Close election? With incumbent advantage usually 10%? Or that most of the rest got over 75% margins. The tell tale signs of gerrymandering. Libertarians, barely mentioned in the corporate media rarely get over 3%, while Greens, prohibited from being mentioned at all, get only 1%. Justice and Socialist parties are kept off the ballot in most states and totally ignored. Even the one Socialist in the Senate is required to identify as I, rather than S. Can you say censorship? I didn’t think you could.
Not sure what the comic has to do with politics,( voter fraud, maybe?) but I do have a question to ponder. What political party would Santa be affiliated with? In this day and age, I would imagine The Green(back) party.

Chris Matthews came up with a good line, the Party With the Fringe On Top.

I am proud to vote in the one state that has no voter registration. We rely on poll judges who know the voters.
