- According to one study, it creates a Republican edge in 20 of the state's 28 districts, implying that a state where Trump received 52 percent of the two-party vote would give Trump's party 71 percent of the House seats.
- A 1-to-1 ratio of Trump's vote percentage in 2020 to the distribution of House seats in each state would fall on the diagonal dotted line below.
- The former has four House districts and the later has five, but despite neither Trump nor Biden receiving 100% of the vote in 2020, each drew congressional boundaries that favor only one party.
