How this ranking is measured
U.S. House general elections of 2024 ranked by the smallest gap in vote share between the top two finishers, from the same race-margin view as the all-time list: single-member districts with a real head-to-head (the top two together holding a majority) and at least 50,000 combined votes for the top two. An uncontested seat has no margin and is not listed. Figures are the certified results as recorded here; every row links to the race and to both candidates.
