...Every seat in the US House is also up for election, but thanks to demographics and the way district lines have been drawn by many conservative state legislatures, it will likely stay in Republican hands.... No bias there.../S

It is a true statement. Whichever party owns the legislature in the state (i.e., Republicans or Democrats) does the district lines. Been that way for a long time.

Your statement is true, but the article shows it's bias by implying that it mainly occurs in those “conservative states”. Sort of funny since the word Jerrymandering goes back to MA in 1812...
