    I can attest to the seat for Ohio. Gerrymandering and Trumpism have turned this state red, when by most accounts it should have more variety. After seeing friggin J.D. Vance somehow getting elected albeit offering nothing other than support for Trump, then I can’t see anyone blue winning the Senate seat until redistricting is finalized and fairer.

      Gerrymandering really shouldn’t impact state-wide races, mathematically, but it sure feels like it breeds a combination of complacency and defeatism that overcomes the math.

        People in the “minority” party districts get complacent that their district will be safe so there’s lower turnout (Harris County in Tx, 3rd largest county in the country, heavily Democratic, had under 50% turnout in the 2020 elections). People in “majority” party districts feel like there’s no hope they’ll be represented, so they give up and don’t vote.
