Map colors

I think that new districts or districts without an incumbent should have a light gray colour, rather than blue or red.

New York's 3rd congressional district should count as a NYC seat for the map on the side of the page.

The Seat Republican George Santos (who lives in Queens) picked up contains parts of Queens, and therefore NYC, meaning that the Republican Party now has two of the NYC Congressional seats but the Wikipedia maps still shows only NY-11 as the only R seat.

Crossover seats

Latest comment: 1 year ago1 comment1 person in discussion

Would it be an idea to edit the table for crossover seats to include future (so 2024) presidential results, this confirming the status of the seat as a crossover seat and not simply a seat that was already shifting? This information may be interesting. 141.154.49.21 (talk) 06:45, 13 December 2024 (UTC)Reply
