2018 Election Breakdown
Thanks in large part to your hard work, Democrats won the House with an even bigger margin than the elections following Watergate in 1974, which previously held the midterms record. And perhaps more impressively, voter turnout was the highest in more than a century for a midterm election, topping 115 million people. That represents over 49% of eligible voters, which is massive for a non-presidential election year. Make no mistake: your efforts to get out the vote made a difference.
Of our 84 Swing Districts, 39 flipped from red to blue and 16 stayed blue—so in total you helped Democrats win in 55 districts.
