Those 45,000 votes didn’t go away, they were just spread across reliable Red districts, which dilutes those districts, and makes them vulnerable.
It might not matter in a normal election, but in an election where Trump is deep underwater in even strong Red districts, we might find that they eliminated one district, but ended up putting two or more other districts at risk. In an election where Dems are more motivated than ever, and MAGAs are talking about sitting it out, those new districts might be in for a surprise.
In addition, at least 36 Republican seats are unopposed, and at least some of those will be surprised flips.
Always remember the most basic MAGA Axiom: MAGA is profoundly ignorant, and virtuosically incompetent. They fuck up everything, and they will fuck this up, too.
And then they will blame Biden and Obama, and say the Dems cheated.
That is what happened in 2018, most states were (still are) heavily gerrymandered for Republicans, but they had gotten greedy and left less margin on their districts, and the president’s assholeism saw them lose a bunch of those.
Between Epstein, and the betrayal of “america first,” with the wars, we could see a repeat of that.

So you’re right…
You’re just not talking about what the article is talking about…
The article is talking about a primary being pushed back to July, and that 45k people have already voted in it.
Those 45k will just vote in the next primary, this time along the same map that will be used in the general.
