2014 US Congressional Election Results

[Joe Republic]

There's an election this Tuesday, or so I heard.

Discuss with maps.

Did anyone notice how, in the Nebraska Senate race; petitioning candidate Jim Jenkins beat the Democrat, Dave Domina, in his home county of Custer County?

That's clearly an error.  Well spotted!

2012 for comparison.  It doesn't look like an error to me, as Jim Jenkins is from Custer county and garnered more votes than Kerrey did.

My mistake; I misread Thomas' post.

The below shows just how "good" the "non-partisan" commission's Democratic gerrymander was in AZ:

Arizona: 1,467,617 (9 Districts)
Republican: 817,178 55.7% 5 (8 Candidates)
Democratic: 577,947 39.4% 4 (8 candidates)
Libertarian: 23,767 1.6% (3 candidates)
American Electors: 44,924 (2 candidates)
Independent: 3,496
Write In: 305

It strikes me as the biggest differential of any of the 50 states. I don't think anywhere the minority party got that high a percentage of the CD's with around 40% of the vote. If AZ-02 has swung the other way, it would have been even more spectacular.

40% of the vote equating to 44% of the seats is fairer than 33% of the seats.  Yes, if AZ-2 had stayed Dem you'd have a reason to complain, but as it stands...
