What the Dashboard Shows
The map colors every district by its projected lean, based on a blend of the 2024 presidential margin and the last contested D vs. R result. Click any district to see who’s running. Click any row in the table to zoom the map to that district.
A few ways to dig in:
Filter by party. Toggle between All, Dem, and Rep to see where each party is fielding candidates and where they aren’t.
Filter by competitiveness. Narrow the map to just Toss-up, Lean, Likely, or Safe districts to focus on the races that will actually decide control.
Model a wave. The slider at the top lets you shift the entire map by up to 10 points in either direction. Drag it toward D+10 and watch which districts flip. Drag it toward R+10 and see how much margin Republicans have to spare.
Lean scores blend the 2024 presidential margin (60%) with the last contested D vs. R race result (40%). Presidential vote shares are reconstructed at the district level from precinct-level results; split precincts are allocated proportionally. Analysis by Civic Forge Solutions.
