U.S. House

New York lost a House seat following the 2020 Census and redistricting thoroughly shuffled around the state’s congressional district lines. The new map has fewer reliably Democratic districts and more tossup seats – seven of the most competitive house races this cycle are in the Empire State. Election deniers are on the ballot in eight districts.

Key House races

  • N.Y.1st District

    This is Republican governor nominee Lee Zeldin’s district, covering the eastern end of Long Island. Redistricting made this seat more competitive – the 2020 presidential result was nearly an even split here.

  • N.Y.3rd District

    This Long Island district just outside of New York City is an open seat. Biden was slightly favored here in 2020 and the race is considered a toss-up.

The Post estimated the lean of 2022 congressional districts using 2020 presidential results by precinct from Decision Desk HQ and estimates where actual votes at the precinct level were unavailable. Districts classified as “Strong Biden” and “Strong Trump” show where a candidate is estimated to have won by 15 percentage points or more. “Lean Biden” and “Lean Trump” districts had estimated vote margins between five and 15 points. “Close” districts show an estimated margin within five points.

The Washington Post doesn’t call races on its own. It relies heavily on two nonpartisan organizations with long track records of examining raw vote totals and calling elections: the Associated Press and Edison Research.
