“If the close districts, the 52, 53 percent Republican congressional districts that could have been 60 percent Republican districts under the old lines flip to Democrats you may not see any gains at all,” said Stephen Farnsworth, professor emeritus of political science at the University of Mary Washington.
Stephen Farnsworth with the University of Mary Washington breaks down the early voting numbers and what kind of impact it could have on the upcoming elections.
“The key thing to remember about political humor is that it scratches an itch that humans have, wherever they live,” said Stephen Farnsworth, professor emeritus of political science at the University of Mary Washington and an India-U.S. Fulbright Specialist this fall. “The idea that people with money and power need to be taken down a peg is a universal thing. And so, when you think about political humour, it’s a way that a lot of people can respond to their frustrations in life. Rich people are still going to be rich; powerful people are still going to be powerful. But if you make fun of some of the things that are happening, that may make it a little easier to deal with the burdens of the day.”
