The Clerk of the U.S. House of Representatives’ publication, “Statistics of the Congressional Election of November 7, 2006” is now in print. Unfortunately, none of the errors identified on this web site a month ago were corrected. The book omits the Republican nominees for U.S. Senate in Ohio and Pennsylvania; it omits the Mountain Party nominee for U.S. Senate in West Virginia; it omits the Moderate Party nominee for U.S. House in the 8th Illinois district. There may be other errors as well.

Because the Republican vote for U.S. Senate was omitted in Pennsylvania and Ohio, the chart in the back, tallying the national vote for U.S. Senate by party, is grossly wrong. It shows that 31,397,838 voters voted for a Democrat for U.S. Senate, and that 21,247,120 voters voted for a Republican for U.S. Senate.

It is always possible that the Clerk will re-print the book.
