before the latest effort to do even more in some of the red states (slowly being countered by Democrats doing and looking at ways to do the same in their blue states). But those already-gerrymandered red states planning to do more, are now actually weakening their solid red districts.

So it will be a coin toss on how that pans out and a lot will have to do with whether a (D) is on EVERY ballot in those new districts (many many red districts have had no (D)s running in them).
