U.S. Midterm Election Maps

If you want to know what happened in yesterday's midterm elections, you should probably start with The Economist's Swing from 2024 map. The map is paywalled, but the screenshot above tells the story rather well: almost the entire USA (perhaps with the exception of South Dakota) swung towards the Democrats. The Guardian has unpaywalled maps of both the Senate and House results. The House results map is a neat cartogram, in which each House seat is shown as 'the same size regardless of its geography'. It illustrates very clearly how the Republicans have relatively few seats along the West Coast
