Ezra Klein writes The plot to oust Lindsey Graham "Or think of it this way: Due to the way seats are apportioned, the Senate has a more pro-Republican tilt than the House. But Republicans have been doing much better in the House than in the Senate. One plausible explanation is that House districts are cut so more extreme candidates can win without problem. There’s no gerrymandering at the Senate level, though, so the GOP’s affinity for nominate highly ideological candidates is leading them to lose seats. They’ve wiped out what should be a significant structural advantage for their party in national politics."
