WHAT WE FOUND

The assertion that California, New York, and Massachusetts have zero Republican representation is false. While Massachusetts is recognized as the largest state with a one-party congressional delegation where Democrats hold all nine seats 1 2 5, this does not apply to California. Evidence indicates that California has 9 Republican representatives out of 52 districts, representing 17 percent of its delegation 6. Because California maintains Republican representation, the claim that all three states have zero Republicans is factually incorrect 6.
