Realignment, More Than Redistricting, Has Decimated Swing House Seats

For more than 25 years, the Cook Partisan Voting Index (PVI) has served as a useful metric to compare the partisan leanings of all 435 House seats and 50 states. Today, we're publishing historical PVI values for every set of congressional districts dating back to 1997 — all in one place. Together, the data illustrate how polarization and shifting boundaries have cut swing seats in half, profoundly altering House members's electoral incentives.
