And gerrymandering can be a double-edged sword, because in attempting to maximize their reps, in many cases the Republicans have divided states in such a way that they have a thin but reliable edge in many districts, and lose one or two in a landslide. This also means that if they lose that edge, then things change in a hurry. A five point swing in one region can swing a whole bunch of districts from red to blue.
