Only a fraction of House seats are competitive. Redistricting is driving that lower

The extraordinary mid-decade redistricting push has "eviscerated the competitive range of districts in which Americans have a real say over who controls Congress in November," says David Wasserman, senior elections analyst for the Cook Political Report.

Primary voters in a small number of districts play an outsized role in deciding who wins Congress. The Trump-initiated mid-decade redistricting is driving that number of competitive seats even lower.
