Back when Jim Jordan's district looked like a duck, I read an article that stated that gerrymandering can backfire when a district suddenly changes demographics or disposition. Demographic changes take longer, but a district's disposition can change in a matter of months & that's what we've seen this year. The House is especially vulnerable cuz people are more willing to vote for the other party or not vote at all, since rep terms are only two years.
