Moving ridge election analysis

See also: Wave elections (1918-2016)

The term wave ballot is oft used to draw an ballot bike in which one political party makes significant electoral gains. How many seats would Republicans have had to lose for the 2022 midterm election to be considered a moving ridge ballot?

Ballotpedia examined the results of the 50 election cycles that occurred between 1918 and 2016—spanning from President Woodrow Wilson's (D) second midterm in 1918 to Donald Trump's (R) first presidential election in 2016. We define moving ridge elections every bit the twenty percentage of elections in that period resulting in the greatest seat swings against the president's political party.

Applying this definition to U.Due south. Business firm elections, we found that Republicans needed to lose 48 seats for 2022 to authorize equally a wave ballot.

The chart beneath shows the number of seats the president'south party lost in the xi U.S. House waves from 1918 to 2016. Click here to read the total report.
