Democracy is flawed because it allows Republicans, whose policies don't work and are unpopular, to influence elections unfairly. This must be corrected by the 2016 elections. Republicans foolishly try to deceive people into thinking they are popular, when in actuality, they can only win by cheating.

Gerrymandering does not apply to Senate elections.

The GOP only won the Senate due to low Democractic turnout. The Democrats, if not pick up more seats, will take back the chamber in 2016.

Then the obvious question becomes, why such low turnout in 2014?

Illinois is gerrymandered in the Democrats favor, however California and New York aren't
