Red and Blue Districts and States in the 113th House

Here are the House districts. Remember that Democrats tend to be packed into the smaller districts, so this is deceptive.

Here's the partisan breakdown in the Senate

Blue means 2 Democrats
Red means 2 Republicans
Purple means one of each
Green means Independent

And what's up with Montana? Their one member of the House is a Republican, but both Senators are Democrats. The Dakotas too. Each elected a Republican to the house, but each has one Democrat in the Senate. Needs an explanation.
