As a result of the fact that California counties have certified their elections (yes, even in Shasta County), the last U.S. House race (CD 13, in the Central Valley) was called.  And as a result of that, there are now a number of reports on the 217-215 split that will be “the smallest House majority in history” or “a historically tiny House majority”  (once Gaetz doesn’t return and two other Members take jobs in the Administration).

UPDATE: the inimitable Richard Winger notes that the 1930 election for the 72d Congress elected 217 Republicans, 217 Democrats, and one member of the Farmer-Labor Party.  And it’s true, a one-vote margin is closer than a two-vote margin.
