Arnold Schwarzenegger says his campaign for more democratic elections may not make for a “sexy headline” — but at least he knows his facts.
PolitiFact California confirms that the former California governor was telling the truth when he recently tweeted about the effects of gerrymandering, the process by which politicians alter the boundaries of an electoral district — sometimes in absurd-looking ways — to ensure an advantage for one party or another.
The “Terminator” star said recently that thanks in part to gerrymandered districts, the “average margin of victory in the House of Representatives was 37%. There are dictators who win by less.”
