One seat left to be decided per CNN, CA-13 where the GOP candidate has a slight lead with 96% of the vote in. With Alaska at large seat going democratic and CA-3 going Republican yesterday, today’s count is a 221-213 Republican advantage.
This guarantees CNN’s numbers on seats gained, flipped or switched will be wrong. CNN has the Democrats flipping 6 Republican seats, the Republicans flipping 18 Democratic seats for what should be a net gain of 12 seats for the republicans. With the old house being at 222-213 Democratic, those flipped or switched from the other party should have given us a 225-210 house.213 plus 12 flipped seats equals 225. Republicans won the popular vote 50.7 to 47.7 popular vote so far .54,150,415-50,790,432 Republican congressional candidates.
It's high past time that we start electing Americans to congress and the presidency who put America first instead of their political party. For way too long we have been electing Republicans and Democrats who happen to be Americans instead of Americans who happen to be Republicans and Democrats.
