7. How do you toss them out?

In my state we vote about 60-40 Republican in all elections. However, we have 85% Republicans in the U. S. House because of the way the district lines are drawn (and without the voters right act that may change). As to acting locally we are 60% Republican so it would take changing the voters from Republicans to Democrats and there are somethings which Democrats believe in or don't believe in which many here are deeply devoted to so I don't see that happening. Sorry that I sound so pessimistic but I know my neighbors.
