Historically, what is the largest number of seats to swap during an election for either party? Just interested to see if this election is approaching that record.
1894. The pickup was something like 130 seats. Not likely this year but 50 to 70 is looking possible. I’m betting that the PJ Too model will keep rising right up to election day.
The record is north of 100 in the Clevand election year in the 1890’s.
