Talk:List of American politicians who switched parties in office

Organization
This page would be more useful if it were organized as a table, listing the politician, the office held when changing parties, the year, the party leaving, and the party joining. Some politicians change from one major party to independent to the other major party, or change parties more than once. This could be handled by having multiple columns for party changes, or by having multiple entries for candidates that change more than once. —Anomalocaris (talk) 05:52, 6 October 2020 (UTC)
 * I've converted the list to a table, but it now has a lot of gaps that need to be filled in. &mdash;Gordon P. Hemsley&rarr; &#x2709; 03:38, 2 January 2021 (UTC)
 * I just realized that this page was created as the result of a CfD discussion, which links to similar lists in other countries. Each one tackles the problem differently, but List of elected British politicians who have changed party affiliation, in particular, splits the page according to office. I wonder if that would be better than the single list approach that I've taken? (Though note that List of United States Representatives who switched parties and List of United States senators who switched parties already exist as separate lists.) &mdash;Gordon P.

Jeff Von Drew of NY switched from Democrat to Republican in December 2019 https://www.nytimes.com/2020/11/06/nyregion/kennedy-van-drew-party-new-jersey-election.html I'd add him, but not familiar with doing tables.Bill Harshaw (talk) 18:02, 25 October 2023 (UTC)
