The final numbers are in: Democrats won the total vote for the U.S. House in November 2012 by almost 1.4 million votes, 1.1 percent of the total. But the voters elected 234 Republicans and 201 Democrats, largely because Republicans controlled the redistricting process in most states following their 2010 electoral victories and drew districts that helped their candidates.
The numbers were compiled by David Wasserman, right, House editor of the Cook Political Report, the most widely respected source for non-partisan analysis of House and Senate races. For his Excel spreadsheet, in a Google Docs document, click here. It also includes the Cook Report's Partisan Voting Index for each district, which uses recent election results to measure the relative "red" or "blue" of each district.
