At least in most red states.
Now they're going to start diluting their own voting base, trying to spread their rabid radical types across all the districts.
Unless they can really, really tighten the voter suppression down, the GOP is going to start to lose their percentage of majority in their "safe" districts in their quest to take the more purple districts. It's a numbers game, and there's still a lot of groups that are not completely dedicated to "the Masters".
