The 2012 United States House of Representatives elections were held on November 6, 2012. It coincided with the reelection of President Barack Obama. Elections were held for all 435 seats representing the 50 U.S. states and also for the delegates from the District of Columbia and five major U.S. territories. The winners of this election cycle served in the 113th United States Congress. This was the first congressional election using districts drawn up based on the 2010 United States census.
Although Democratic candidates received a nationwide plurality of more than 1.4 million votes (1.1%) in the aggregated vote totals from all House elections,http://clerk.house.gov/member_info/electionInfo/2012election.pdf Statistics of the Presidential and Congressional election of November 6, 2012 Karen L. Haas February 28, 2013 May 29, 2013 the Republican Party won a 33-seat advantage in seats, thus retaining its House majority by 17 seats. Democrats picked up 27 previously Republican-held seats, but most of these gains were canceled out due to Republican pick-ups of Democratic-held seats, and reapportionment gains that benefited Republicans, leaving the Democrats with a net gain of just eight seats.https://www.quorum.us/data-driven-insights/under-obama-democrats-suffer-largest-loss-in-power-since-eisenhower/291/ Under Obama, Democrats suffer largest loss in power since Eisenhower
This disparity — common in close elections involving single-member district (especially plurality) voting"...the discrepancy between the popular vote won by a party and the seats that party wins in Congress is an endemic feature of our political system." Trende, Sean. Why Republicans Lost the Vote But Kept the House. RealClearPolitics. 2013-05-16. Retrieved 2013-09-15. — has sometimes been attributed to targeted Republican gerrymandering in the congressional redistricting process following the 2010 census as part of the REDMAP project.http://www.contracostatimes.com/opinion/ci_23044745/timm-herdt-does-gop-now-own-house Timm Herdt: Does the GOP now own the House?

This marked the last of five House elections in which the party that won the popular vote was unable to receive a majority in the House. The previous four times were in 1914, 1942, 1952, and 1996; in the former two elections, Democrats won the House majority without winning the popular vote, whereas in the latter two, the Republicans did so.https://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/the-fix/wp/2012/11/12/in-1996-house-democrats-also-won-the-popular-vote-but-remained-in-the-minority In 1996, House Democrats also won the popular vote but remained in the minority (kind of) Washingtonpost.com November 12, 2012 December 3, 2012 The 2012 elections were also the first since 1996 where a president and a House majority of different parties were simultaneously elected, and are the most recent ones to date. Additionally, they were the most recent House elections in which a winning presidential candidate's party gained seats in the chamber.
2026, this is the last time Democrats won a House seat in West Virginia.

In primary elections
Thirteen representatives lost renomination: eight were lost in redistricting battles pitting incumbents against each other, and five incumbents lost nomination to non-incumbent challengers.
Democrats
Seven Democrats lost renomination: five in redistricting and two to a non-incumbent challenger.
