Congressional District Map[edit]

The print on this is unreadable to me, even when expanded. Can anythign be done? Jokem (talk) 05:57, 10 January 2021 (UTC)[]

I agree with Jokem, the map needs one more level of zooming in (or a new map) to be useable and readable. Jurisdicta (talk) 21:53, 17 January 2021 (UTC)[]

Latest election results and current party standings[edit]

Someone want to explain the table in this section to me??? From this table it would appear that 221-211=11 and 20+27=50. And what does 'Majority' mean and where does the number 11 come from (what happened to the other 39?)? Why is 'Working majority' in the table if there are zero of them?

I followed the 'source' link and it does not have any of these figures in it, so for the ones that aren't simply math, a (different) source needs to be added. ...And if you're going to put 'Source:' under a table, then actually write the source name out. Otherwise just enter your 'source' like a normal footnote (examples of proper use of 'Source:' can be found on the page '1993 Verdy Kawasaki season' - "Source: J.LEAGUE OFFICIAL RECORD & DATA 1994. ISBN 4-09-102309-6." - and on the page '2020 K League 2' - "Source: Official website of K League SOCCERWAY".)Niccast (talk) 00:39, 19 January 2021 (UTC)[]

Semi-protected edit request on 5 February 2021[edit]

Claudia Tenney was certified as the winner of New York's 22nd congressional district race on Feb 5, 2021. Cite error: There are <ref> tags on this page without content in them (see the help page). https://www.syracuse.com/politics/cny/2021/02/claudia-tenney-to-be-certified-as-winner-of-new-yorks-22nd-race.html This brings the Republicans to 212 seats not 211. Please update. Devinuren9 (talk) 23:59, 5 February 2021 (UTC)[]

 Not done for now: please establish a consensus for this alteration before using the {{edit semi-protected}} template. According to that linked article, there may be an appeal, and the House needs to vote to seat her, so the seat is still vacant. When she is seated in the House, then the Wikipedia article can be updated. RudolfRed (talk) 00:36, 6 February 2021 (UTC)[]

special elections not explained[edit]

There is no explanation how these work (different for Senators) - can a link be added to the byelection article? This is protected so I cannot do it. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 88.112.30.115 (talk) 07:04, 9 February 2021 (UTC)[]

What verbiage would you suggest to be included in the article? I found this source which talks about the procedure. https://history.house.gov/Institution/Vacancies-Successors/Vacancies-Successors/ Thoughts? Jurisdicta (talk) 04:33, 24 February 2021 (UTC)[]
