The thing that’s more worrisome, to me, is democrat legislatures and state supreme courts being allowed to draw legislative districts in places like Pennsylvania and Illinois. We literally have NO recourse to maps that make incumbents go against each other in primaries and, when republican legislatures or state supreme courts write their own legislative maps in places like Texas or North Carolina, the SCOTUS nearly always steps in on minority rights grounds. Illinois is as lost as California and the pending state financial failure is the only thing that will change it in any real way. Pennsylvania is still actually majority Trump if not majority republican but there’s little chance to win the Pennsylvania Supreme Court’s gerrymandered districts. The only real recourse I see to flip some of these back is for republicans to move to places like Indiana, Florida and Texas that are already close and flip D seats while adding new R seats in the next census. Bleeding the beast is the only way and that’s... really personally costly for a lot of our voters.

54k votes cost all the seats. 54k across all districts
