270toWin: Turn House Blue

I'm sure many have used the site before but it appears they've upgraded the InterActive House Map. They list all races--the competitive races are listed above the safe district. Each race tells you the 2016 won/loss percentage (Red-Republican/Blue Democrat) and the percentage that Clinton/Trump won the district by in 2016. Then you can go through each race and turn the House blue yourself by checking the box and switching the seat to the Democrats. You can particularly focus on the races that Clinton won to see which Republicans are most vulnerable. And just for the fun of it you can throw out some traitors like Dana Rohrabacher, Devin Nunez and Paul Ryan. For some reason the same info isn't available yet for Senate seats
