Following our successful efforts to once again calculate presidential election results by congressional districts, Daily Kos Elections is pleased to announce that we're now crunching presidential results by legislative districts as well—for all 50 states. We've completed 15 states so far, and our latest batch includes NH, RI, and ID: http://www.dailykos.com/story/2013/07/29/1227259/-Daily-Kos-Elections-Live-Digest-7-29#20130729122711

This is an awesome project.

I wonder which states have the greatest number of D+ districts held by Republicans and R+ districts held by Democrats? Probably Iowa or New Mexico for the first and West Virginia for the second. Of course you could argue gerrymandered seats fit into that as well. When considering that, it'd be... what? Michigan or North Carolina for Republicans and still West Virginia for Democrats?

Great work, and I look forward to seeing it unfold. Where can one find demographics and descriptions of the districts, for comparison purposes?

Yikes. Obama's performance in West Virginia is truely awful. He lost every single senate district. The most he got was 46.0-51.87 in Berkeley/Jefferson.

He won four house districts, 71.16% in Kanawha County, 51.56% in Berkeley County, 49.54% and 51.5% in Jefferson County.
