Huh? Eliminating an unfair advantage doesn’t mean Democrats have to win? If I were in a race with Usain Bolt and they stopped giving him an advantage of a 10-meter head start, Usain Bolt would still win. It’s just a fact that Republicans are broadly popular among Montana voters. Measures to reduce unfairness don’t inherently mean you’ll change the binary win/lose outcome of the competition (although I’ll note that you’re reducing Montana’s 150-member legislature and its executive branch to a binary “controls/does not control”).
And as other commenters have noted, the anchoring bias is an extremely prolific and well-known cognitive bias. This objectively does make things less unfair.
