Thanks for posting all of these CD results, Impy.
You forgot to highlight that NJ-07 (Republican Leonard Lance’s CD) had given Romney 52.5% but held Trump to only 47.5%, making it the only CD in the state to go from R to D in the presidential race. Surprisingly, Trump underperformed Romney even more in the NJ-07 than he did in the even more upscale NJ-11.
In RI, Trump outperformed Romney massively in blue-collar suburban and small-town areas. It actually would have been possible to draw a CD in RI that voted for Trump, but, alas, the Democrats always made sure to split Providence between the two CDs so that both elect Democrats, and the whole exercise will be moot come the 2022 elections because RI will lose a CD and become a single-district state.
Doh, yes, I forgot to mention Lance’s district.
“RI will lose a CD and become a single-district state”
C’est la vie.

Nice gain in the 1st, and it was an easy win in the House race, with the weak (why?) Dan Benishek gone we hopefully should not have to worry about that seat anymore.
Nice gain in the 4th, and the 7th, the 10th is insane! 64%!
The 5th was close but held for Shilly, as we previously discussed.
As you may have guessed the GOP margin narrowed in the 11th. Unbeknownst to me, Kerry Benvitolio ran as an indie there, what a jerk. He got around 4%, Trott won easily.
Good thing Kerry B was ousted, can’t have weak candidates.
