In a previous post, I looked at what percentage of House Committee seats were taken by the majority party, and found that for the 98th to 116th Congresses, the larger the majority, the larger the share of committee seats, in a roughly linear relationship. That led to a prediction of the Democrats, in the current (117th) Congress, getting 54.1% of the committee seats.
Well, the Democrats have outdone themselves, and I wish I knew just how they pulled it off. I have a sneaking suspicion they exploited the innumeracy of the Republicans.
