Republicans Won The House But The Margin Is Not Certain Yet

Republicans are sure of at least 218 House seats and Democrats are sure of at least 213 seats in the 119th Congress, so the Republicans will have the majority again in January. However, four districts have still not been called. Here they are:

District Democrat Dem. votes Republican Rep. votes Difference Votes remaining
AK-AL Mary Peltola* 143,370 Nick Begich 152,545 9,175 ca. 20,000
CA-45 Derek Tran 152,981 Michelle Steel* 152,945 36 ca. 33,000
IA-01 Christina Bohannan 206,139 Mariannette Miller-Meeks* 206,940 801 ca. 1,000
OH-09 Marcy Kaptur* 176,228 Derek Merrin 175,035 1,193 ca. 22,000

Incumbents are marked with an asterisk. The Republican majority in the House is certain. It could be as much as nine if they win all the undecided seats, or as small as one if they lose them all. If the Republicans win the races they are now leading, the House will be 220-215, a very small margin to work with. It should be noted that Rep. Mary Peltola (D-AK) is in deep trouble because about 12,000 of the "uncounted" votes are the second-place votes of the Libertarian candidate, and they will probably skew Republican. Recounts are likely in all the races. No matter what the final results are, Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) will be tested to the limit herding the cats. (V)
