This article, Democratic House Candidates Received More Votes Than Republicans, is on the front page at the HuffPost today and it is a prime example of the mediocre crap that will pass as journalism today. This statistic has absolutely no meaning in the context of the election or the rampant gerrymandering this article tries to highlight. In the Presidential elections, you can make the argument that if a candidate wins the Electoral College but loses the popular vote, the will of the people is not served. In this case, you can't. There are 437 individual candidates and it doesn't matter one iota what the aggregate vote total for each party was. Some races were 50.2 to 48.8 while others were basically uncontested. If you want to talk about gerrymandering, the better statistic to focus on would be the number of House members who kept their seats despite Congress having a 10% approval rating. The vote total from 437 individual races is a meaningless statistic and should not be a front page story anywhere.
