Allocations and apportionment argument aside, those in the districts still have to get out and vote to keep outnumbering those voters who are sane. In the end, it is the amount of votes cast wherever that make the difference.

True, but this explains why the GOP still controls the House of Representatives yet has a built-in disadvantage in a presidential election. There are many GOP House districts in states that haven't voted for a Republican presidential candidate in decades.

Even New Jersey, which is pretty much a Marxist state when it comes to presidential elections and Senate elections, has a House delegation that is split 6-6 between the two major parties.
