Graphic which explains ho democratic candidates can win more votes and still lose seats, due to gerrymanding borders of a district.

This diagram was posted as a comment on the Kos website, to an article about something else... the commenter was Angela Marx, and the date was June 30, 2018.  The diagram shows a simple way to gerrymander districts so that red wins even though it is in the minority.
