This time, John’s subject is purportedly… blue state gerrymandering efforts.

He claims to have created (at his “not so much” think tank)… an index — that would supposedly show that Democratic states are more gerrymandered than Republican ones.

Hilarious.

He gets there by comparing the number of Democratic candidates that get elected in a given state as a proportion of the total number of Democrats in the state.

The lunacy of this approach is patently obvious:

Could it possibly be Hinderaker might wonder, that in states with slightly less than 50% registered as Democratic populations, the best candidates just happen come out of/from the Democratic Party — anyway? Yes — it could well be.

But true to his shallow statistical / analytical skills, John wholly ignores any thought about this possibility to reach his goofily wrong… conclusions.

John’s flawed premise assumes that GOP voters will only ever vote for GOP candidates (perhaps that is mostly true?)… but it is clearly untrue, as to people electing Democratic ones.

This has been proven — time and time again across hundreds of statewide elections — to be a false premise.

Thus, all John wrote… falls of its own weight.

What a decrepit old moron.

Out.
