Current House make-up:

257 Democrats

178 Republicans

A 100 seat swing would look like this:

157 Democrats

278 Republicans

[Alas Babylon!]

And Nancy Pelosi goes back to her closet office up in the attic of the Rayburn building.

Nice.

Actually, a 100 seat swing would result in: Repubs 228, Dems 207.

Today, we are -79 to the Dems (257-178=79).

A 100 seat swing would put us at +21 (-79 + 100 = +21)

Your math would actually be a 200 seat swing from current status...going from -79 to +121 = a 200 seat swing.
