This is because the Democratic Party, which has a higher percentage of registered voters (38%), has gained an advantage in the congressional districts by concentrating Democratic voters into three out of four districts. This means that even with a significant number of Democratic voters, their votes are "packed" into specific districts, allowing Republicans to win at least one district despite the Democratic majority in overall voter registration.
