We’ve added an interactive map to help you monitor the 2010 election of all 535 members of the House of Representatives. The map offers a number of starting views:

• Current Congress reflects the party makeup of the current House, which, as of this writing, includes 254 Democrats, 177 Republicans and 4 open seats (3 due to resignation and 1 due to death).
• All Neutral view is basically a blank map
• Projected Congress: Party Map is the first of two predictive maps (based on projections by the Cook Political Report).   In this case, it is at the party level
• Projected Congress:  Margin Map takes it to a finer level, based on how strong each candidate’s hold on the seat is.  Seats are designated as undecided/tossup, leaning, likely and safe.

Choose a starting view and from there you can customize the map as you deem appropriate to follow the 2010 election.   Place your cursor over any District to get information on the incumbent Representative.

Several zoom features are also available to help you better view some of the geographically smaller Districts.   More details on this and the other 2010 election map functi0nality are below the map.

We’ll soon be updating the Senate map for the 2010 election as well.
