Loading ...The Hill reports that “Democrats have won all 11 House races that were too close to call Nov. 4.”[House Dems’ silver-lining wins by By Cameron Joseph, November 14, 2014]
In the absence of some kind of fraud, this defies the laws of probability.
Assuming a 50% chance of winning each seat (which is implied by “too close to call”) I think the probability of one side winning them all would be .5x.5x.5 etc (11 .5′s multiplied together), which yields 0.000488, or 1 chance in 2048.
