United States House of Representatives elections, 2010 - predictions was nominated for deletion. The discussion was closed on 12 August 2010 with a consensus to merge. Its contents were merged into 2010 United States House of Representatives elections. The original page is now a redirect to this page. For the contribution history and old versions of the redirected article, please see its history; for its talk page, see here. |
This is a historical article, not a daily tally sheet. If someone drops out or loses, do not erase them; rather, refer to them as having run and lost, dropped out, etc. |
I think this article could use an analysis section talking about the large swing in the Republican direction, and a depth of analyses as to why it happened. Of course there are different opinions differ as to why (e.g., bad economy, poor communication with voters on the part of Democrats, unhappiness with a left-wing agenda, etc.), but the notable ones can be included. However, the historic nature of the changes should be unquestionable - frankly this would be a much better addition to this article than the sprawling and out of date "predictions" section.

Yes, I understand the setup in the House for the majority party. But, it could be a tad confusing for those, who don't realize the the House Republican leader (who'll be majority leader in the 112th Congress) won't be John Boehner. GoodDay ( talk) 16:23, 23 November 2010 (UTC)
In neither this article nor the related United States elections, 2010 can I find a clear statement of the number and percentage of the national voter turnout. Seems to me this elementary statistic ought to be stated in all such articles. I wonder if one of you political-junkie editors could please add that here, with reliable source citation of course? Textorus ( talk) 22:45, 12 April 2011 (UTC)
What's the source for this? There are no citations, and I see names of candidates for NY seats here that did not file petitions, according to the NYS board of elections [1]
In the introductory paragraph, I think it would be informative to mention how many new (or not so new) representatives were elected. #(retiring)+#(incumbents defeated), I think it adds to 95 in this article? Same goes for the article on election to the Senate. Jack Daw ( talk) 01:14, 26 July 2012 (UTC)
I've devised a new column to flesh out the figures. I've also found missing data for retired Reps. So please, if you need to correct the data, please cite your work.— GoldRingChip 13:25, 9 October 2012 (UTC)
I've deleted the Entry for the 2012 primary between Mo Brooks and Parker Griffith, since Brooks was the incumbent at that point and he won re-election. — Preceding unsigned comment added by DrVonMalfoy ( talk • contribs) 16:11, 19 February 2013 (UTC)
