4. If there was no gerrymandering & voter suppression, Dems would've picked up at a minimum another 6-10 seats. But does Stephens factor that in? No. But it gets worse.

In GA, FL gov races we put up the best candidates imaginable against avg/subpar opponents- outspent them by a mile and still lost. If what has transpired in the past two years hasn’t turned someone off from voting R, I’m not sure what changes in the next two years. Real Concern

Flipping 7 governorships & ending many state trifectas will go a long way towards redistricting in 2021. GOP has been playing the long game on state level since Obama won. Dems were asleep at the wheel but no more.
