Competitive races across the country are expected to disappear as states begin to submit their re-drawn maps for this decade's round of redistricting.

On the old maps, drawn in 2011, Republicans had 21 competitive seats and 67 solid seats; this go around, only 12 competitive seats remain while 78 are solidly GOP. Democrats can't bank on the same certainty. Instead, many Democrat-drawn maps have so far added competition, creating six new competitive left-leaning seats and creating no additional safe races.
Gwinnett County, a portion of which is in GA's seventh district, had nearly 90% white residents in 1990. Now, it's only 35% -- a clear threat to potential conservative candidates down ballot, likely to be a part of this round of gerrymandering calculus, redistricting expert Michael Li explained to ABC News.
