Blue-State Gerrymandering Scandal: Zero Republican Seats Despite 40%+ Trump Votes

The mainstream media wants you to believe gerrymandering is a Republican sin, with Texas as their favorite gerrymandering scandal. They’ll scream about the Lone Star State’s GOP-drawn map, where Republicans hold 25 of 38 House seats (66%) on 52% of the 2024 vote. Unfair? Sure. But while CNN and The New York Times clutch their pearls over Texas, eight blue states are pulling a far uglier stunt: completely erasing Republican representation despite millions voting for Trump. This isn’t a representative republic—it’s an urban progressive power grab dressed up as democracy. And it’s time to call it out.
The Blue-State Shutout: Zero GOP Seats, Millions of Silenced Voters
Take a look at these numbers. Eight blue states have zero Republican House seats, even though Trump pulled massive vote shares in 2024:
Massachusetts: 37% for Trump (~1.3 million voters), 9-0 Democratic seats.
New Hampshire: 48% (~350,000 voters), 2-0 Democratic seats.
New Mexico: 45% (~400,000 voters), 3-0 Democratic seats.
Connecticut: 42% (~600,000 voters), 5-0 Democratic seats.
Rhode Island: 41%, 2-0 Democratic seats.
Vermont: 32%, 1-0 Democratic seat.
Hawaii: 37%, 2-0 Democratic seats.
Delaware: 42%, 1-0 Democratic seat.
That’s millions of Republican voters—1.3 million in Massachusetts alone, nearly half of New Hampshire’s electorate—completely shut out of Congress. In a representative republic, where diverse voices are supposed to get a seat at the table, this is a travesty. These states aren’t just blue; they’re rigged to silence red.
Not a Republic, a Rigged Game
The Founding Fathers designed a republic, not a pure democracy, for a reason. James Madison warned in The Federalist Papers (No. 10) about the dangers of factions—like urban progressives—oppressing minorities, like rural conservatives. The House should reflect voter diversity, not erase it. When 48% of New Hampshire or 45% of New Mexico votes Trump but gets zero GOP seats, that’s not representation—it’s exclusion.
Is it just geography? Urban centers like Boston, Albuquerque, and Hartford do lean heavily Democratic, and dense populations can skew districting. But don’t be fooled. In states like New Mexico and Connecticut, Democratic legislatures have drawn maps that crack Republican voters across urban-heavy districts, diluting their power. The Brennan Center for Justice flags these states for partisan bias, with New Mexico’s 3-0 Democratic split defying its 45% Trump vote and Connecticut’s 5-0 sweep ignoring 42% for Trump. Even in Massachusetts, where urban clustering plays a role, the 9-0 Democratic lockout feels like a middle finger to 1.3 million conservative voters.
Compare that to Texas. Yes, its GOP-drawn map gives Republicans a 25-13 edge despite a 52% Trump vote—a gerrymander, no question. But at least Republican voters there have some voice in Congress. In these eight blue states, millions of GOP voters get nothing. That’s not a republic balancing interests; it’s a winner-takes-all shutout.
Media Hypocrisy: Texas Bad, Blue States Fine?
The media’s double standard is infuriating. Outlets like CNN and The New York Times obsess over Texas’s map but give a free pass to blue states erasing 30-40%+ of their voters. Why? Because urban media hubs—New York, DC—are packed with progressive elites who cheer when their side rigs the game. Social Media users like are calling it out: @FacistColonizer points out that “Gerrymandering is done in both red and blue states. But the worst cases are in the blue. Ironically, Illinois is the eighth worst state for gerrymandering, while Texas is the eighth least. Dems are lying hypocrites on this issue, as they are on most everything else. Disgusting!"
The silence on these shutouts is deafening.
This hypocrisy isn’t just unfair—it’s dangerous. It normalizes a system where urban progressives can dominate without accountability, pushing policies that crush rural America. Take New Mexico: its 3-0 Democratic map fuels urban-driven gun control, ignoring 400,000 Trump voters who back the Second Amendment. Or Massachusetts, where Boston’s progressive agenda—high taxes, green mandates—rules 9-0, steamrolling 37% of the state’s voters who want lower taxes and energy freedom.
The Pure Democracy Threat
This blue-state shutout is a preview of what a pure democracy would look like: urban power crushing rural voices. Cities, home to 60-70% of the U.S. population (2020 Census), could dictate national policy—such as gun bans, climate regulations, and socialistic wealth taxes—while rural priorities, including farming, energy jobs, and traditional values, get erased. The Founders saw this coming. That’s why we have the Electoral College, giving smaller states like Wyoming equal clout to California, and the Senate, where Vermont matches New York. Without these checks, urban elites would run the show.
If Democrats get their way, they’d ditch these safeguards. They’ve already pushed to abolish the Electoral College and pack the Senate with urban-heavy states. The 2030 Census, with urban populations growing, could shift even more House seats to city-dominated states like California (58% Harris, 43-9 Dem) and New York (56% Harris, 19-7 Dem). If that happens, rural America’s voice could be permanently drowned out.
Time to Fight Back
This isn’t just about maps—it’s about power. Urban progressives and their media allies want a pure democracy where cities rule and rural voters eat dust. We can’t let that happen. Here’s what we do:
Demand Fair Maps: Push state legislatures to draw districts that reflect voter diversity, not urban dominance. New Hampshire’s 48% Trump voters deserve at least one GOP seat.
Defend the Republic: Protect the Electoral College and Senate. They’re the only things stopping urban tyranny.

The blue-state shutout isn’t just unfair—it’s a betrayal of the representative republic the Founders built. Millions of Republican voters in Massachusetts, New Hampshire, New Mexico, and beyond deserve a voice, not a muzzle. The media won’t call it out, so we will. Join WecuMedia in this fight.
