"Republicans could pick up anywhere from six to 13 seats in the House of Representatives—enough to retake the House in 2022—through its control of the redistricting process in Georgia, Florida, North Carolina, and Texas alone" https://t.co/WZ3v3SlW5U

"Some 70 percent of the seats that flipped in 2018 were drawn by courts or commissions…Democrats owe their current slender five-seat majority in the US House entirely to state court decisions that overturned GOP maps in Pennsylvania and North Carolina." https://t.co/POb4C0XAoE

Or, in plain language: Democrats are significantly more popular than Republicans and will likely win millions more votes, but could nonetheless lose the House in 2022 because Republicans have used gerrymandering to effectively rig elections in their favor. https://t.co/gATpZW9EjF
