New HoR State Delegations (now with Senate too!)

[Associate Justice PiT]

AZ (tie-->D)
ID (R-->tie)
KS (tie-->R)
NV (R-->D)
NM (R-->D)
OH (R-->D pending further notice in OH-15)
VA (R-->tie pending further notice in VA-05)

     32-16-2, changed from 28-20-2 before the election. Worth noting that KS was the only state delegation that the Republicans actually picked up here. I could do one for the Senate too, if there is any interest.

NM is now 5-0 Democratic in it's Congressional delegation. And Colorado has switched from 7-2 Republican to 7-2 Democrat in 6 years. The possible +3 house seat gain in Virginia is also pretty remarkable.

     This is HoR-only. I could do them both if you want.

VA (tie pending runoff in VA-05)

Runoff?

     CNN still has it as gray, even though 100% of precincts are in. I guessed that that meant a runoff, though I'll change it if that isn't the case. I forgot about the possibility of a recount though.

[Associate Justice PiT]

     Okay, I changed OH & VA to mention that both were "pending further notice," since it will depend on what happens with OH-15 & VA-05.

     Here's the Senate (not as interesting, but still should be done):

AK (R pending further notice)
CO (tie-->D)
GA (R pending further notice)
MN (tie pending further notice)
NH (R-->tie)
NM (tie-->D)
NC (R-->tie)
OR (tie pending further notice)
VA (tie-->D)

     Dems lead 21-15-14. That's a change from a Dem lead of 18-17-15. I'm also counting Lieberman & Sanders as Democrats, since to do otherwise would be misleading.

     Here are the combined Congressional delegations of each state:

     Without even getting into the changes, the map enumerates the complete weakness of the Republicans in the Northeast, or even the Midwest for that matter.

or in the West outside of Mormon areas and Alaska (which is heavily settled by migrants from the Bible Belt)

     Indeed. Maine sticks out like a sore thumb on the map.

Florida is also kind of odd. I'd expect it to be Dem, but I guess gerrymandering + a strong state Republican party is preventing us from making very many gains.

     Yep. It currently stands at 15 R, 10 D. If you had succeeded in knocking off the three Cubans (the Diaz-Balarts & Ros-Lehtinen) though, you would control that delegation.
