U.S. House Democrats Elected with More Votes than Republicans

About a million more people voted for Democrats in the U. S. House of Representative than voted for Republicans.  So what?

Why are we suddenly looking at the vote differences between congressional Democrats and Republicans?  It is amazing how a simple concept, democracy, can be turned on its head by ignorance. Well, maybe not so amazing. The Congress and Senate have evolved into parliamentary type governing bodies where everything is done along party lines. Democracies do not have parties. Democracies have as their expressed purpose the will of the people. Republicans and Democrats have usurped the will of the people in the way they function as representatives of the people. True, gerrymandering contributes to destroying the democratic intent of our constitution. But the rules under which the House and Senate operate reinforce the vulgarities of gerrymandering. In turn, House and Senate members can surrender to the most strident voices of their constituents than weigh the interests of the nation.
