Um. Kindof? I mean, it's all about 538, but those votes are mostly not affected by gerrymandering -- vote suppression, yes, but most Voter ID laws have gotten struck down and for good reason (poll closing, yes, that's a huge deal). And frankly, while Republican dirty tricks are very open and above board, my party has a long history of less obvious dirty tricks (ballot box stuffing, mostly) and while electronic machines are somewhat less vulnerable to that, I can't say with a certainty that it's not still going on.

In the end, though, part of being a member of a (flawed) democracy involves accepting the results. And trying to fix the rules that produce bad results, and trying to (democratically and through other means as needed) moderate them. We need to fix a huge truckload of problems (enact national voting/anti gerrymandering laws, probably a -funded- national ID program so we can get the Republicans to shut up about voter fraud without disenfranchising valid voters, pass NPVIC so national elections become truly national, and work on adding national party-less primaries and run-offs to make compromise candidates, rather than "best loser" candidates, much more common), but we also need to make the best of a bad situation.
