As I understand their calculation, the PERCENTAGE of votes changed the more Republican the district became.
If it was simply votes, the graph would have trended downward. It was the % of votes. That should have remained roughly constant. The percentage increased. No way that is possible.

It was the percent of votes (Trump - Biden / Trump) on the y axis. The x axis had straight ticket percentage. Their assumption was the non-straight-ticket voters should behave exactly like the straight ticket voters (horizontal line). That's an incorrect assumption.
