It’s not “the house” it’s the house delegation. So Alaska gets one vote, Texas gets one vote, California gets one vote, etc.

There are more Republican delegations than Democrat ones. 26v24 iirc

I think it's more than that. Don't we have like 32?

Iirc Reps control 26, Dems 22, and 2 are evenly split (Pennsylvania and Michigan, ironically).

Can you explain this to me further? What exactly is a delegation and how do we know we have more than the Dems?

It’s the greatest party number of all the representatives from each state.

California has 55 representatives. 35? Are Democrats and 20? are Republican. Therefore the state has a Democrat delegation. Each delegation gets one vote.

There are more representatives total from blue states, but republicans control more states. California and Wyoming have the same power if it goes to delegations.
