    “Just three weeks before Election Day in 2016, [Democratic House Minority Leader] Nancy Pelosi was on TV saying they’d take the House back, win 30 seats,” recalled Matt Gorman, communications director at the National Republican Congressional Committee. “We’re still in the majority.”

    “The math is slanted against them in terms of how the districts are drawn,” said David Byler, elections analyst at Real Clear Politics.

    A big part of the reason for that is gerrymandering, the political and often-highly partisan process used by state legislatures to redraw voting boundaries. Gerrymandering was notably used by GOP lawmakers in 2010 in several swing states to keep reliably Republican voters in certain areas, and reliably Democratic voters in others.

    “Big data has been harnessed to draw these maps with real precision, on a block-by-block, house-by-house basis,” said Caleb Burns, an election law attorney.

    This means the list of realistic pickups for Democrats remains short.

    cases before SCOTUS this fall could limit partisan gerrymandering, as the law forbids racial gerrymandering.

    Repugs can only win by lying and cheating. They are the minority party ing up the country and taking it backwards

    With a net gain at least for the dems.

    Republicans can no longer hide behind the WE WILL REPEAL OBAMACARE. They have been pretty exposed.

    Next year will be interesting.

    The DNC has raised only $42 million, and they're still struggling with debt from 2016. After July's numbers, they remain in the red, owing around $3.8 million to vendors and venues who served Hillary Clinton's disasterous failure.
    Still paying for that
