and there are 11 (D)s & 3 (R)s. In NY, there are currently 19 (D)s and 7(R)s.

For other blue states - in NJ, there are 9 (D)s & 3 (R)s, in WA, there are 8 (D)s & 2 (R)s, in MD, there 7 (D)s & 1 (R), in OR, there are 5 (D)s & 1 (R), and CO has a split of 4 (D)s & 4 (R)s.

For other blue states - ALL 9 of MA's Reps. are (D)s as are ALL 5 of CT's, ALL 3 of NM's, and BOTH of RI's, ME's, and HI's. DE's at-large is a (D).

NH's are both (D)s but like VT, whose at-large is a (D), the governors are (R)s.

The only other bigger states with a (semi-) motherlode of Reps. are those that are purple with either a (D) governor & (R) (or split) legislature or a (R) governor and a (D) (or split) legislature. E.g., PA, VA, AZ, MI, MN, NC & WI.

If all this ends up a net gain for Dems, Supreme Court will insist it be reversed. If net gain for Repubs, they won't, thesquanderer Aug 14 #2
