The Top Democratic House Targets

The two major parties, and some outside groups, compile lists of seats they want to flip. One such group, which works to flip Republican seats, is swingleft.org. It has a list of targeted seats. Democrats who want to help capture the House or Senate but don't know where to give to get maximum bang for their buck can donate to them and they will divide the funds appropriately among these seats. The site has lists of targets for the House, Senate, and governor. Below are its House targets. For the other targets, check the site, but if you have been following us for a few months, you already know. The site also helps people who want to do door-to-door canvassing on the ground get started:

A similar site, with a longer list of targets (some of which are going to be tougher), is movement.vote. If you want to take more risks and go after some long shots as well, check them out. One nice touch with them is they give the 2024 vote margin and percentage margin for the targeted House districts.

We searched for similar groups on the Republican side. We know about WinRed, which is a commercial, for-profit, firm that processes donations to Republicans, but isn't involved in strategy about where the biggest impact will be. If anyone knows of a Republican analog to swingleft.org or movement.vote that publishes a list of soft Democratic targets, please let us know at comments@electoral-vote.com. (V)
