I think its just the numbers. There is only a single gop district and its at least R+8. Dividing that up risks diluting other districts and putting them at risk in a strong r year. All that work for a single seat with the risk of it not working and costing us at least 2 seats in a bad year. Thats probably the math they are seeing.
