Change (220) to (219) as the number of democratic members (to match the correct number 219) in the majority number directly above. 173.68.22.243 (talk) 23:14, 31 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

 Not done: I can't find anything that says "220" on the page. --Ferien (talk) 09:09, 1 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Majorities

I am a bit puzzled by the various "majorities" values in the chart, and in particular the state majorities. Is there an authoritative source that we can verify these from directly, rather than just hand-counting the List of current members of the United States House of Representatives?

More generally, I wonder if this constantly-changing information about the current composition of the body would be better addressed in the 117th United States Congress article (et seq.), which can also accommodate information on the stories behind the numbers. For example, that article can address the fact that Peltola hasn't yet been sworn in, which seems to have been the source of some well-intentioned but premature updates, and which would be an excessive level of detail here.

On the bottom, there is a spot on the page where party representation in the House is shown. This spot says there are only 2 vacancies, but there are 3 vacancies now, with the resignation of Representative Ted Deutch of Florida. 206.246.7.180 (talk) 13:30, 4 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

 Not done: it's not clear what changes you want to be made. Please mention the specific changes in a "change X to Y" format and provide a reliable source if appropriate. MadGuy7023 (talk) 23:21, 3 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

"Seven states have only one representative: Alaska, Delaware, Montana, North Dakota, South Dakota, Vermont, and Wyoming." This is false as of 10/11/2022. Montana now has 2 representatives. This line should be changed to: "Six states have only one representative: Alaska, Delaware, North Dakota, South Dakota, Vermont, and Wyoming." 192.222.131.25 (talk) 18:42, 10 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]
