Fact check: How many states that tend to vote democratic have no republican representitives in congress

1. Summary of the results

Based on the analyses provided, at least two states that tend to vote Democratic have no Republican representatives in Congress: New Mexico and Connecticut ^[1]. The sources consistently identify these two states as having zero Republican congressional seats despite significant percentages of Trump voters.

Additional states with severely limited Republican representation include:

• Illinois - only 3 Republican seats out of 17 total congressional seats ^[1]
• California, New York, Oregon, New Jersey, and Maryland - mentioned as having "little or no congressional representation for Republicans" despite Trump receiving significant vote percentages ^[1]

However, the analyses do not provide a definitive total count of all Democratic-leaning states with zero Republican representatives, as the sources focus primarily on highlighting examples rather than conducting a comprehensive state-by-state analysis ^{[2] [1]}.

2. Missing context/alternative viewpoints

The original question lacks important context about redistricting and gerrymandering practices. The analyses reveal this is part of a broader national redistricting battle involving multiple states ^[3]. The issue is presented within the framework of interstate redistricting conflicts, particularly between Texas and California, suggesting this is part of strategic political maneuvering rather than organic electoral outcomes ^[2].

Democratic Party leadership and redistricting organizations would benefit from maintaining current district boundaries that maximize their representation, while Republican strategists and conservative advocacy groups would benefit from highlighting these disparities to justify their own redistricting efforts in red states ^{[4] [5]}.

The analyses also indicate this is occurring during an active redistricting cycle, meaning the numbers could change as new maps are implemented ^{[3] [6]}.

3. Potential misinformation/bias in the original statement

The original question appears neutral but may contain implicit bias by focusing solely on Democratic states without acknowledging that similar representation gaps likely exist in Republican-controlled states where Democrats may be underrepresented relative to their vote share. The analyses suggest this is a bidirectional problem affecting both parties ^{[4] [1]}.

The framing could be misleading because it doesn't account for the fact that congressional representation disparities can result from legitimate geographic clustering of voters rather than solely from intentional gerrymandering. The sources indicate that even states with significant Trump vote percentages can legitimately have few Republican representatives if those voters are geographically dispersed ^[1].

Additionally, the question's timing may be problematic as it appears to be asked during an active redistricting period, meaning any current answer could become outdated as new district maps are finalized and implemented ^[3].
