      Um Ackshually, gerrymandering has nothing to do with this one. As a Senator, he represents his entire state, and the borders of his “district” don’t change.

      However, “ignorant populace” may be spot on.

        Except the gerrymandering means there’s no local pressure. So technically you are correct but it allows it to continue.
