The 2012 United States House of Representatives elections in New York were held on Tuesday, November 6, 2012, to elect the 27 U.S. representatives from the state, one from each of the state's 27 congressional districts, a loss of two seats following the 2010 United States census. The elections coincided with the elections of other federal and state offices, including a quadrennial presidential election, and a U.S. Senate election. The two existing districts that were eliminated were District 9, held by Republican Rep. Bob Turner,^[1]^[2] and District 22, held by retiring Democratic Rep. Maurice Hinchey.^[3]^[4]

Party primary elections occurred on June 26, 2012,^[5] with the general election coinciding with the national elections on November 6, 2012.

On election day, the Democratic Party regained two seats previously held by Republicans, while the Republican Party regained one seat previously held by a Democrat.^[6] In the 113th Congress, which first met on January 3, 2013, the New York delegation initially consisted of 21 Democrats and six Republicans.^[7]^[8]

Redistricting

Each caucus in the New York State Legislature submitted their proposed 27-district maps to an appointed special master on February 29, 2012.^[9] On March 6, the special master Judge Roanne L. Mann released her own proposed map, and slightly revised them again on March 12.^[10]^[11] On March 19, the United States District Court for the Eastern District of New York imposed the special master's maps, with minor modifications.^[12]^[13]

Primary results

On the night of the June 26 primary, it seemed as though the incumbent Rangel had defeated his closest challenger, State Senator Espaillat, by a 45%-40% margin; Rangel celebrated victory and Espaillat conceded defeat.^[98] However, as the counting continued, that margin narrowed considerably. A number of precincts were very late in reporting and Espaillat went to court claiming irregularities in that his supporters had been improperly turned away from polling locations.^[98]^[99] On Saturday July 7, 2012, Rangel received the primary victory by a margin of 990 votes. The New York City Board of Elections released that Rangel received 18,940 votes and Espaillat had 17,950.^[99] On July 9, 2012, Espaillat conceded the election to Rangel.^[99]
