Gerrymandering Kept GOP Midterm Losses to a Minimum

An Associated Press analysis finds that Republicans won about 16 more U.S. House seats in the 2018 midterms “than would have been expected based on their average share of the vote in congressional districts across the country.”

“In state House elections, Republicans’ structural advantage might have helped them hold on to as many as seven chambers that otherwise could have flipped to Democrats.”
