Democrats in California and Virginia have targeted 9 Republicans in response to Republicans in Texas, Missouri, North Carolina, and Ohio targeting … 9 Democrats.
At most it’s a proportionate response, but even that may overstate how many seats Democrats would likely flip solely thanks to new maps

MO: 1
NC: 1
OH: 1-2
TX: 3-5
