[OC] Since Democrats and Republicans became the dominant two parties in the United States (1856), there have been 12 midterm elections that resulted in the House of Representatives switching control from one party to the other (7 for Democrats, 5 for Republicans).Submitted by NarcissusLovesEcho t3_yrneph in dataisbeautiful

How did the democrats take the house in 1874, 1882 and 1890 without the republicans taking it in between. Who were they taking it from?

From the party who had control flowing the previous general election.
