Re: Number of votes
Pressie writes:
A big thing that bothers me about US elections is that around 57% of the vote went for the Democrats and around 41% went towards the Republicans.
Only 1/3 of the Senate is up each 2 years. This year 23 Dems were being defended and only 10 Reps were being defended. 23/33 = 69.7% of the seats. Since this ~70% had voted Dems in the last time (6 years ago), it is not surprising they would be mostly still voting D. Next time the R's may have more defending to do.
