[EL] does anyone know if any compilation has been made of Dem & Rep national total for US House?

When all the votes counted, margin likely to be a bit over 2 million and
the GOP vote share a tad under 50%.

Notable stats from elections to "the people's House""

* 218 Republicans (a majority of the House) won by at least 12.7%.

* a grad total of 12 seats changed partisan control in a year when voters
seemingly wanted to vote for change

* FairVote's simple forecasting model projected more than two years before
the election (and just 2 days after the November 2014 election) winners in
more than 360 races - and were 100% accurate
