Most of those are states with low seat counts. But to quote me from a sentence above, "gerrymandering is bipartisan".

Rucho v Common Cause, a case brought against both Dems and GOP that would have rightfully declared partisan gerrymandering an unconstitutional deprivation of voting rights, was shot down by a Conservative court. Democrats campaign on ending gerrymandering, Republicans do not. Trump demanded the recent escalation in gerrymandering by explicitly calling for political re-drawings to give Republicans more seats, and Republican governors complied. The calls to de-escalate and ban the practice federally have (almost) entirely come from Democrats.
