I hope so, but after the PA Supreme Court giving the Democrats several seats due to their unilateral redistricting that may be harder than normal.

Exactly. Some people are forgetting about pro dem redistricting.

We’ll lose seats in the house for sure, but will the loses equal a dem majority? It’s going to be an interesting night.

Yeah we’ll lose House seats for sure.

I personally know several voters who are going to vote Republican for Senate to support Trump, and then vote Democrat for the House seat to support Maxine Waters.

LOL!

NOBODY is nuts enough to do that.

Just remember, 435 is not a sacrosanct number. If we had 100,000:1 ratio of constituents to reps, redistricting would not be a problem. At all. That would be 7x the number of reps now. 435 was good for 1911 when the number stopped going up.

The Apportionment Act of 1911 (Pub.L. 62–5, 37 Stat. 13) was an apportionment bill passed by the United States Congress on August 8, 1911. The law set the number of members of the United States House of Representatives at 435, effective with the 63rd Congress on March 4, 1913.
