Letter writer says we ended up with Trump because of the gerrymandering that infiltrated our systems.

I need to correct the math in the Dec. 8 letter, “Thankful every day that Trump defeated Clinton.” The author stated that 7 million Californians voted for Hillary. Actually, it was 8,753,788 to be exact. She carried 62 percent of our state.

Trump did not win the popular vote as the letter writer stated. We ended up with him because of the gerrymandering that has infiltrated our systems. The one positive thing I can say is that his ineptness and greed have united many of us to resist him and those like him. I look forward to Mueller’s findings.

    Now that the pervasiveness of men committing sexual harassment and assault is abundantly clear, all men must take ownership of this abusive behavior. Each of us must take personal responsibility to change our gender culture. Let’s: name it, report it, stop it. Step up men. Stephen E.

    Letter: Clinton tarnished presidency and, perhaps, wife’s campaign
    Keith Wilson (Letters, Dec. 14) and perhaps others wonder why Bill Clinton isn’t being held under the lights for abusing women. Clinton is not our president. When he did serve from 1992 to 2000, he was hounded for seven of those years by a special prosecutor, who started investigating the Whitewater real estate deal and ended up with a blue...
