It is worth noting that gerrymandering not only suppresses the number of seats produced by A party's Ron National vote total, it suppresses the overall National vote total as well. Gerrymandered safe seats produce lower grade candidates with far less funding or institutional support. Good candidates aren't going to give up potential legislative seat or other job opportunity for a doomed run in a gerrymandered safe seat, and donors aren't about to waste their money they're either. Putting those same gerrymandered areas into competitive redrawn districts will largely produce better quality and better funded candidates who obviously perform better.

A thing to remember about the results of uncontested races, many Democratic districts would even with a filed Republican go close to 9010 Democratic. Or at least well over 80 20. Even the most Sapphire Atlas blue districts can usually scrape up hi 20s to low 30% for even a sacrificial lamb Democrat. Though admittedly that's changing with increased polarization and rural areas becoming crazy.
