Trivia

How many 2020 House races has Ballotpedia designated as battleground elections?

Last week, Ballotpedia announced our preliminary assessments of which Senate and House races would be battleground elections for 2020. Battlegrounds are elections that we expect to have a meaningful effect on the balance of power in government or to be particularly competitive or compelling.

In 2020, all 435 seats in the U.S. House are up for election. Of those, how many House races has Ballotpedia designated as battlegrounds? Is it:

  • A. 38→
  • B. 56→
  • C. 73→
  • D. 91→

The correct answer was 73.

Elections for all 435 U.S. House seats took place in 2020. Ballotpedia identified 73 of the 435 House races (16.8%) as battlegrounds. Of the 73 seats, 43 were held by Democrats and 30 were held by Republicans heading into the election.
