Check out ABCNEWS' list of competitive House races.

UPDATED October 11 -- As is the case every two years, all 435 seats in the House of Representatives are on the ballot.

But because of redistricting, only a few dozen of these races are truly competitive, with any doubt about the outcome.

Below is a list of the 46 seats the ABC News Political Unit currently considers to be in play.

We are not predicting a specific outcome in these races, or even rating which party or candidate is getting the most traction or seems to have momentum.

Earlier this election cycle, Republicans anticipated gains out of the redistricting process in several states that did not materialize. But Democrats aren't on a trajectory to win the gains historically made by the party out of power, at least in part because of the war against terrorism.

Seats marked "new" are districts added to states because of population gains in the past decade; the districts were drawn by the states themselves. Seats marked "open" involve races in which the current occupant of the district is not a candidate this year.

Alabama-03 (R open): Mike Rogers (R) vs. Joe Turnham (D)
