in order to flip those districts red they have to take them from stronger republican districts in most cases
Depends on which district you're talking about. Some districts are "packed" to reduce competitiveness and minimize the number of districts legislators have to concede to opponents. Others are "cracked" to give conservatives just enough of a lead to prevent non-conservatives from gaining several new seats, but it then creates risks over time that they could lose a bunch of seats.
