In 2008, the Republican in Calif CD9 lost 86%-9%. I was pretty sure that this was the biggest losing margin in the entire House of Representatives.
Well, almost. My district lost by the biggest margin in all Calif.
However, nationwide, there were a few districts where the losing margin was actually larger:
Illinois, 1 district
New York, 6 districts
Pennsylvania, 3 districts
Texas, 1 district
That makes a total of 11 congressional districts that actually lost bigger than mine.
(I have exluded those cases where a major party was running unopposed).
Well, now I don't feel so bad (I think).
