All because of how the districts were drawn based on the 2010 census. We won't see the House have a chance of changing until 2020, but even then it isn't likely. That's called gerrymandering folks, and it is the norm when it comes to the way the districts are drawn for the HoR.
This is a big problem because it leads to more extremists in congress.
When a person is only running against people in his own party the most extreme candidate wins. This makes compromise harder in the House.
