The geograhpic problem was simple: in the blue/purple states, Obama's strength mainly depended on running up the score in areas that were already blue (thus yielding few new D districts), while Republicans won rural/exurban areas narrowly, netting more districts with fewer votes — PolitiTweet.org

From 2010-2014, the main story about the Democratic disadvantage in the House centered on purple/blue states where Democrats faced a two part problem: Republican gerrymandering and a Democratic 'geographic' inefficiency problem — PolitiTweet.org

The Trump elections somewhat complicated this story. Like Obama, Trump often ran up the score mainly in places that were already red. Yes, he did flip blue rural areas (IA/OH), but Clinton/Biden was also flipping a very similar number of red suburbs (GA6, etc) — PolitiTweet.org
