The Daily Kos Elections Morning Digest is compiled by David Nir, Jeff Singer, Stephen Wolf, Carolyn Fiddler, and Matt Booker, with additional contributions from David Jarman, Steve Singiser, Daniel Donner, James Lambert, David Beard, and Arjun Jaikumar. Leading Off ● Demographics: Daily Kos Elections has published an exhaustive guide on the electoral and demographic statistics for the new 117th Congress members and the districts and states that they represent. The guide includes our calculations of the 2008-2020 presidential election results by congressional district, recent Senate election results and the 2012-2020 House results, and the racial, educational attainment, and income demographics of each district and state.
