America is divided up into 435 congressional districts with each district having the power to elect one representative to the House. All 435 were up for election yesterday. Prior to the election the Republicans controlled 247 of the 435 seats in the House of Representatives, with 218 needed for a majority. In addition to the 435 voting representatives, there are also six non-voting representatives from US territories or Washington DC who are only allowed a say in relevant House committees.
  There are currently a total of 435 possible members of the US House of Representatives who may vote on the House floor. If all Representatives are present and voting it â¦ would take 218 votes to have a majority.Often there are fewer present and voting so it is possible to have a majority with fewer than 218 votes.Also there is the possibility with a new Democrat Congress in 2009 that the District of Columbia might be given one or more vote(s) in Congress which could change the answer above.f all Representatives are present and voting it â¦ would take 218 votes to have a majority. Often there are fewer present and voting so it is possible to have a majority with fewer than 218 votes.
