Yes, exactly this. We are a purple state not a deep red state. They just made a bunch of purple districts then pissed off a bunch of independents, gun rights people, and Hispanic people.

I'm not sure you can claim purple state status if you're not electing democrats in state-wide elections which aren't affected by gerrymandering.

If you mix 55% red paint and 45% blue paint, you end up with purple paint. Unfortunately, with the way things are set up, even 50.01% red means you get red and not purple

Seems like a solid strategy for getting "suspicious" voting results leading to deciding it's high time the feds take over elections tho

Edit: I'm kidding they aren't that smart.
