Huge turnouts will also show the places that are actively gerrymandered and otherwise trying to suppress certain demographics from being able to vote. Which oddly enough are usually in swing states. Almost like there’s a reason for preventing some people from voting.
Gerrymandering and in fact any tampering is most effective when turnout is low.
If turnout is unusually high it actually can backfire turning very red counties into blue (they gerrymander by spreading people in heavily red counties to neighboring blue ones just enough to turn then red, so the margins are much smaller)
