Just looking at some of the figures and statistics, collectively, Democrat candidates received record-high funding from private donors for these elections. They were all so arrogant that they expected to win the presidency, state legislatures, house and senate in a landslide. In the popular vote for president, Biden (including all of the controversial ‘votes’) and Trump (where there are no controversial votes) won more votes than any other candidates in history. If this was a conventional election without the mass mail-in voting, Trump would have obliterated Biden. Anyway, the outcome of the senate majority rests with Georgia, which will be settled in January 2021. But Democrats suffered major losses in state legislatures and their house majority shrank, which is an interesting outcome.
One would assume that if a presidential candidate wins a state then the house candidates of the same party would also be victorious in the same state. Of course, this doesn’t always happen, but in the case of this election it didn't happen in some of the states accused of voting irregularities. For example, Biden apparently won in Georgia but the Republicans beat the Democrats for house votes (8 vs 6). Same thing in Wisconsin, Biden apparently won but Republicans won in house votes (5 vs 3). Trump is barely holding on to North Carolina (for now, unless there is some more midnight magic), yet Republicans again won in house votes (8 vs 5). Even in Pennsylvania, where Trump had a massive lead yet was miraculously beaten by Biden, Republicans lead (9 vs 6) with 3 uncalled, which will probably go Democrat. The same situation cannot be found with the Republicans. In every single state that Trump won the Republicans also did with house votes. Go figure.
