Again, that is incorrect. Many of those district went for HRC in 2016, sometimes by large amounts. And we were gerrymandered out of 3 seats in PA and possibly a handful in a few other states. The house could easily be +15R to +10Ds with where things sit now and 2% turnout delta could easily make or break it.

Most of those districts had GOP congressmen but are now open seats, that is why they are considered 'tossup's'

And the Democrats are complaining about the Gerrymandering losing them seats.

There are also a number of Democrat seats that the GOP may flip to make up for those 3 seats. The fact is that the Democrats need to pick up 23 GOP held seats, which would take a wave election like they had in 2006. It isn't going to happen when they are losing Senate seats.
