Overview
The Democratic Party retained its House majority with 243 seats — 25 above the 218 threshold — but shed 16 seats net, while the Conservative Party erupted onto the national stage by capturing 16 seats, all from New York's 43-member delegation. The Farmer-Labor Party held steady at 176 seats, leaving the chamber a three-party body for the first time in the simulation's history.
The Map
Eight state delegations flipped plurality control. New York delivered the cycle's seismic shift: the Conservative Party won a 16-seat plurality (CON 16, DEM 15, FLP 12) in a delegation that had previously been split between Democrats and Farmer-Laborites. Seven other states swung to Farmer-Labor plurality — Florida (FLP 5–DEM 3), Illinois (FLP 15–DEM 10), Minnesota (FLP 5–DEM 4), Ohio (FLP 13–DEM 10), Texas (FLP 12–DEM 10), Colorado (FLP 3–DEM 1), and Wyoming (FLP 1) — each flipping from Democratic plurality. Massachusetts and Pennsylvania moved the opposite way, with Democrats expanding their edge (MA DEM 8–FLP 6, PA DEM 18–FLP 12). The swing chart underscores the concentration: New York's 16-seat magnitude dwarfs Illinois (6), Wisconsin (4), and California (4) as the only other double-digit delegation shifts.
The Balance
Democrats sit at 243 seats (−16), Farmer-Labor at 176 (no net change), and Conservatives at 16 (+16). The Democratic majority is intact but narrowed; the Conservative caucus, entirely sourced from New York, now holds the balance of power between the two larger parties. No other state elected a Conservative representative.
Delegations to Watch
Six delegations are deadlocked at seatMargin 0: New Hampshire, Rhode Island, North Dakota, Nebraska (2–2), South Dakota, and Arizona — each split 1–1 or 2–2 between Democrats and Farmer-Laborites. These tied delegations mean neither party controls the state's House vote in any contingent-election scenario, and a single special election or crossover could tip half a dozen states at once.
