If anyone sees any error, please contact me at richardwinger@yahoo.com, or leave a comment. If anyone is aware of any other individual or group that has also compiled this data, please inform me. The author of America Votes, Rhodes Cook, will be compiling this data but not for some time yet. Eventually two federal agencies, the Federal Election Commission and the Clerk of the U.S. House, will compile it, but not for many months yet. I will furnish the state-by-state totals to anyone who asks. UPDATE: figures have been revised to correct a Delaware error. Thanks to Greg Koza for that.
I could compile the final data and update it on my website for you, click my name to go to my homepage. I’ll also check my numbers for all races to make sure that they match.
P.S.
Independence parties are compiled together.
Also Conservative parties are compiled.
Thank you for the U S House info, Richard.
Folks can NOT pay RW enough for his zillion hours of data collection — since 1980s.
Some distortions in the data due to top 2 regimes (CA, etc.) and fusion regimes (NY, etc.) and D/R unopposed or no D/R.
If possible combine the data where there was 1 D and 1 R — and add the fusion votes for each D or R.
Also votes for the 218 Lowest R winners — as a percentage of total voters in the 50 States.– will be around 28-30 percent.
— with much much much worse primary math – esp. for new HACK Reps.

P.R. in all legislative body elections to END the minority rule gerrymander oligarchy stuff — since 1789 in the gerrymander Congress.
The Dark Age Congress gerrymander hacks do NOT require the State hacks to IMMEDIATELY report official final-final Fed officer election stats to Devil City — thus the various unofficial collections of stats — esp. the U.S. H. Reps. Clerk stats and the FEC stats.
House Doc. ONE of each USA Congress should have ALL of the final-final election stats for Fed elected officers — to show how evil bad the minority rule gerrymander stats are — H.Reps, Senate, Electoral College.

Basic 3 district gerrymander math – 9 voters
D District, A/B Parties, T Totals
D-A-B-T
1-2-1-3
2-2-1-3
3-0-3-3
T-4-5-9
Thus the 4 in Party A control the 5 in Party B.
In reality – with larger legislative bodies the gerrymander HACKS in control pack/crack the entire area into having 55 plus percent winners — a *safe* 10 percent margin — control percentage about 28-30 percent — with much, much worse primary math when there is no incumbent — i.e. a new hack to be elected in the gerrymander district.
Thus — the USA House of Reps is one giant evil minority rule gerrymander system — and has been since 1789.
ALL 99 houses in the 50 State legislatures are current smaller versions of the USA H. Reps.
P.R. and nonpartisan App.V.
I don’t see any results for the Socialist Party. I believe they were on the ballot in two states (Colorado and Michigan) and had write-in status in several other states.
Never mind. I mistook these figures for the Presidential vote, not votes for House candidates. Sorry.
2 profs have done one more article about the nonstop gerrymanders in the USA H. Reps. since the 1788 elections — See
A Two Hundred-Year Statistical History of the Gerrymander

It has maps of THE worst gerrymander districts — now automatic with New Age pack/crack gerrymander computer programs.
