Observers such as the non-profit, non-partisan Ballotpedia organization have identified 79 House "battleground" races - 70 held by Repubicans and nine by Democrats. To win a majority, Ballotpedia figures Democrats need to have a net gain of 23 development Republican seats. According to historical analysis, Democrats are well-positioned to gain seats, according to Ballotpedia. team expands From 1918 to 2016, the president's party lost an average of 29 seats in midterm elections.

  • Reauthorizing the Satellite Home Viewing Provisions in the Communications Act and the Copyright Act: Issues for Congress
    . Reauthorizing the Satellite Home Viewing Provisions in the Communications Act and the Copyright Act: Issues for Congress Charles B. Goldfarb Specialist in Telecommunications Policy July 30, 2009 Congressional Research Service 7-5700 www.crs.gov R40624 CRS Report for Congress Prepared for Members and Committees of Congress c11173008 . Reauthorizing the Satellite Home Viewing Provisions Summary To further the longstanding U.S. media policy goal of localism, the current statutory framework for satellite and cable multichannel video programming distribution services distinguishes between the retransmission of local broadcast signals—the signals of stations located in the same local market as the subscriber—and of distant signals. Some statutory provisions block or restrict the retransmission of distant broadcast signals in order to protect local broadcasters from competition from those signals, with the intention of fostering local programming. At the same time, Congress has recognized the value of subscribers receiving certain distant signals—for example, if they are unable to receive broadcast network programming from a local station. Key copyright and retransmission provisions in the 2004 Satellite Home Viewer Extension and Reauthorization Act (SHVERA) that make it possible for satellite operators to provide their subscribers those distant broadcast signals expire on December 31, 2009. If these provisions are not reauthorized, satellite operators would no longer be able to provide most of those signals to their subscribers. In addition to the specific statutory provisions subject to sunset, there are several policy issues currently under debate, including: • In many situations, counties in one state are assigned to a local market for which the primary city (and the local broadcast stations) are in another state.
