The supreme court has said that partisan gerrymandering is a-okay, making it totally viable for states with 50-50 populations to end up with supermajorities in their state legislatures and house delegations.

The federal senate is not allocated according to the population and does not directly reflect the will of the majority.

Efforts to limit access to the franchise have been upheld by the courts and key protections from federal legislation like the voting rights act have been undone.

Even when the federal government does pass laws or regulations, the courts step in to strike them down through increasingly spurious reasoning.
