I’m not even going to TRY to list out all 435 House Races, but let’s keep the discussion on that here.
Google election results is showing:
214 R / 205 D with 218 needed for majority. We likely won’t know the full result for several days.
16 races left to call.
CA 9 - Leaning Democratic
CA 21 - Leaning Democratic
CA 27 - Leaning Democratic
CA 39 - Called for the Democrat.
CA 47 - Leaning Democratic
CA 49 - Leaning Democratic
LA 6 - Called for the Democrat.
ME 2 - Leaning Democratic
OH 9 - Leaning Democratic
OR 5 - Leaning Democratic - Called by local media.
AK 1 - Leaning Republican
AZ 6 - Leaning Republican
CA 13 - Leaning Republican
CA 22 - Leaning Republican
CA 41 - Leaning Republican
CA 45 - Leaning Republican
IA 1 - Leaning Republican
WA 5 - Leaning Republican
Looks like it’s going to end up 213 D to 222 R
Particularly notable will be any flips from D to R or R to D.
Currently, the makeup of the House is:

220 Republicans
212 Democrats
3 Vacancies
Rep. Mike Gallagher (R-WI) resigned effective 04/25/2024.
Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee (D-TX) died 07/19/2024.
Rep. Bill Pascrell (D-NJ) died 08/21/2024.
If the Republicans lose just 5 seats, control will flip from them, back to the Democrats with a majority of 217 to 215. Not even counting the three vacancies.
For an Amendment you need 38 states to ratify it. So every state that voted for Biden + 13 Trump states.
Permanent apportionment was a mistake.
