According to my data, Republican House candidates received 1,514,784 votes in NJ 2004, and Democratic candidates received 1,721,392, for a 7-6 Democratic majority in the House delegation (for a one-party state, it is amazingly ungerrymandered).
In 2004, the total nationwide House Congressional vote by major party was:
Republican: 54,423,174 (49.6%)
Democratic: 51,021,395 (46.5%)
Total: 109,754,649
Seat Share
Republican: 232 (53.3%)
Democratic: 202 (46.4%)
Total: 435
The Republican vote share by region was
Northeast (37.6%), Midwest (50.3%), West (47.0%), South (58.2%)
Once you exclude uncontested races (races where either a Democrat or Republican did not appear on the ticket), the results change to-
Republican: 48,907,068 (48.8%)
Democratic: 48,048,567 (47.9%)
Total: 100,247,816
