Wave ballot assay

See also: Wave elections (1918-2016)

The term wave election is oft used to describe an election cycle in which one political party makes pregnant electoral gains. How many seats would Republicans have had to lose for the 2022 midterm election to be considered a wave election?

Ballotpedia examined the results of the 50 election cycles that occurred between 1918 and 2016—spanning from President Woodrow Wilson'southward (D) second midterm in 1918 to Donald Trump's (R) first presidential election in 2016. We ascertain wave elections as the 20 percent of elections in that period resulting in the greatest seat swings against the president'due south political party.

Applying this definition to land legislative elections, we establish that Republicans needed to lose 494 seats for 2022 to qualify as a wave election.

The chart below shows the number of seats the president'south party lost in the x state legislative waves from 1918 to 2016. Click here to read the full report.

CA 2022 Overview.png

Historical context

See likewise: Competitiveness in Land Legislative Elections: 1972-2014

Uncontested elections: In 2014, 32.8 pct of Americans lived in states with an uncontested country senate ballot. Similarly, forty.4 percent of Americans lived in states with uncontested house elections. Primary elections were uncontested fifty-fifty more often, with 61 percent of people living in states with no contested primaries. Uncontested elections often occur in locations that are and so politically ane-sided that the upshot of an ballot would be a foregone conclusion regardless of whether it was contested or not.

F5 Pop. % with uncontested state legislative races.png

Open seats: In most cases, an incumbent will run for re-election, which decreases the number of open seats available. In 2014, 83 percent of the 6,057 seats upwards for election saw the incumbent running for re-election. The states that impose term limits on their legislatures typically see a college per centum of open seats in a given year because a portion of incumbents in each election are forced to leave role. Overall, the number of open up seats decreased from 2012 to 2014, dropping from 21.2 pct in 2012 to 17.0 per centum in 2014.

Incumbent win rates: Ballotpedia's competitiveness analysis of elections between 1972 and 2022 documented the high propensity for incumbents to win re-election in state legislative elections. In fact, since 1972, the win rate for incumbents had non dropped beneath ninety pct—with the exception of 1974, when 88 percent of incumbents were re-elected to their seats. Perhaps nigh importantly, the win rate for incumbents generally increased over time. In 2014, 96.v percent of incumbents were able to retain their seats. Common convention holds that incumbents are able to leverage their part to maintain their seat. However, the high incumbent win charge per unit may actually be a result of incumbents being more likely to hold seats in districts that are considered safe for their party.

Marginal primaries: Often, competitiveness is measured by examining the rate of elections that accept been won by amounts that are considered marginal (5 per centum or less). During the 2022 election, 90.one percent of primary and general election races were won by margins college than 5 per centum. Interestingly, it is usually the example that only i of the two races—main or general—will exist competitive at a time. This means that if a district'due south general election is competitive, typically 1 or more of the commune's primaries were won by more than 5 per centum. The reverse is too true: If a district sees a competitive primary, information technology is unlikely that the general election for that district will be won by less than 5 percent. Primaries often see very low voter turnout in comparison to general elections. In 2014, there were just 27 one thousand thousand voters for land legislative primaries, simply approximately 107 1000000 voters for the land legislative general elections.

Pivot Counties

Run across likewise: Pin Counties by country

Iii of 67 Pennsylvania counties—four.5 percent—are pin counties. These are counties that voted for Barack Obama (D) in 2008 and 2012 and for Donald Trump (R) in 2016. Altogether, the nation had 206 pivot counties, with most beingness concentrated in upper midwestern and northeastern states.

Counties won past Trump in 2022 and Obama in 2012 and 2008
County Trump margin of victory in 2016 Obama margin of victory in 2012 Obama margin of victory in 2008
Erie County, Pennsylvania 1.56% 16.03% 19.88%
Luzerne County, Pennsylvania 19.31% 4.81% eight.41%
Northampton County, Pennsylvania 3.78% 4.71% 12.xxx%

In the 2022 presidential election, Donald Trump (R) won Pennsylvania with 48.2 percent of the vote. Hillary Clinton (D) received 47.v percent. In presidential elections between 1900 and 2016, Pennsylvania cast votes for the winning presidential candidate 76.7 percent of the time. In that aforementioned time frame, Pennsylvania supported Republican candidates for president more often than Democratic candidates, 53.3 to 43.three percent. The state, however, favored Democrats in every presidential ballot between 2000 and 2012, only voted Republican in 2016.
