We've lost only one US congressional seat so far(this one), and one US Senate seat. The rest are state houses of assembly seats.
There are some 5,411 state representatives. Losing 40 of those over 5,000 seats is hardly earth shattering. Obama managed to lose to the time e of over 1000 of those seats in 8 years, working out at over 110 seats lost per year.

Thanks for the clarification Re what this election is about. Local is always based on what can I get from the one who sounds like he will give me the most. The MSM isn’t saying this is really local even though they say PA house race. They make it sound like a congressional seat was just up for grabs.

Thanks for that perspective which is sorely missing in all the analysis of doom and gloom.
