Referring to the 2020 November elections in Texas for members of the federal House of Representatives: What % of all votes for Representatives went to Republicans statewide? After redistricting, what % of Texas House members were Republican? If the State of Texas re-draws the Congressional districts and as a result 5 currently Democratic districts flip to Republican, what will be the % of Texas House members?

Here are your answers, based on certified 2020 results and the current (2025‑period) delegation:

1. What percentage of the total vote for U.S. House candidates in Texas (November 2020) went to Republicans?[edit | edit source]

In the 2020 U.S. House elections in Texas (36 seats at that time), Republican candidates received 5,926,712 votes, or ≈ 53.43% of the statewide totalBallotpedia[2]Politico[3].

2. After redistricting (based on the 2020 census), what percentage of Texas U.S. House members were Republicans?[edit | edit source]

Under the post‑2021 redistricting map, Texas gained two seats (going from 36 to 38). In the current 119th Congress, Republicans hold 25 out of 38 seats, giving them ≈ 65.8% of the delegationWikipedia[4].

3. If Texas redraws districts and 5 currently Democratic districts flip to Republicans, what would the GOP percentage be?[edit | edit source]

If Republicans gain 5 more seats (i.e. go from 25 to 30 seats out of a total of 38), then they would hold 30/38, which is ≈ 78.9% of Texas’s House delegation.

🔍 Summary Table

| Scenario | GOP seats / total | % GOP delegation | | -------------------------------------------- | ----------------- | ---------------- | | 2020 statewide vote for GOP U.S. House | — | ≈ 53.4% | | Post‑2021 redistricting (current delegation) | 25 / 38 | ≈ 65.8% | | If 5 Democratic districts flip to GOP | 30 / 38 | ≈ 78.9% |

⚠️ Notes & Context:[edit | edit source]
  • The vote‑share figure refers to the popular vote across 36 U.S. House races in November 2020, before Texas gained its extra two seats for 2022 onwardexpressnews.com[5]The Washington Post[6].
  • The delegation count 25 Republicans, 13 Democrats in the current 38‑seat map reflects the post‑redistricting balance after the 2022 electionsWikipedia[7].
  • Proposed mid‑decade map changes are aimed at flipping five Democratic districts to Republican control, taking GOP from 25 to 30 seats of 38Wikipedia[8].
