I'm asking, because I hear that they lost at the state level. That could be good, because the Republicans could use that to fix their electoral systems where possible.
Democrats captured NO legislative chambers. And lost several.
And I think they lost a couple of state governorships.
The GOP pretty much had a very good night everywhere...Trump is on pace after all votes are counted to get nearly 10 million more votes then last time but as we all know many of his opponents leads where manufactured overseas
But if Biden is president he can veto it.
I don’t think the President can veto how states administer elections.
Sweeping GOP state legislature wins cast doubt on Biden victory; "This is the first coattail election with no coat"

President Trump drew a vast number of his supporters to the polls, and they paid attention to down-ballot races and elected Republican top to bottom.
How odd that the Biden votes that keep surfacing didn’t include state legislative races.....or even dogcatcher votes.
The Washington Examiner realizes what a big loss the Democrats suffered: "Democrats had been hoping their landslide victory would hand them power in a number of new state legislative chambers. This was key to their goal of cementing themselves into power. Not only would it give them opportunities to advance their policy agenda, but it would also hand them much greater control over the redistricting process than they had enjoyed in 2011."
Democrats failed to flip even a single legislative chamber in their favor.
This massive Democrat failure will echo through the next decade. Democrats w/ power at the state level, could have erected massive obstacles to Republicans’ goal of staging a post-Trump comeback. Instead, they now look forward to a second dismal decade of living under maps they did not themselves draw.
As for the US Congress, despite far more Senate GOP incumbents up for re-election, it appears the GOP will hold onto a majority. (Excerpt) more at americanthinker.com ...
All you have to do is check the vote sight of each state......the graphs show where ever the Republicans overwhelming won..a clean sweep...suddenly Biden leads as pres. It’s really quite amazing to look at.
They got their butts kicked, which means we need to gerrymander their House Districts to our advantage.
The Democrats have spent a huge amount of cash on elections from 2016-2020. They have to spend big because their socialist policies aren’t popular, with many factions that make up the American electorate.
Gov. Fatass of IL put $56M of his own money behind a progressive tax amendment that went down in flames.
You make an excellent point.
Obama got almost 70 million votes in 2008.
Hillary got around 65 million in 2016.
The Democrats had around 60 million votes in the 2018 midterms.
In 2020 Joe “old man river” Biden has 72 or 73 million votes. Really?
Seems believable.(sarcasm)
Democrats lost in NH.
The republican Governor, Sununu, kept his seat, but both the state house and state senate went republican. Dems lost the majority this time around.
Dhimmicrats won almost every single race in The Soviet of Washington...
We need to put Ron DeSantis in charge of Republican Governors Association. All other states with Republican Governors need to follow his lead and clean up on how they run elections in their states.
What a shame....
From what I have read, the Reps did very well at the state level.
They lost their super-majority in Vermont, and we booted the House Speaker and another Bernie-Bot progressive. My northern county now has only one Democrat in the entire group. Doesn’t sound like much, but we’re moving in the right direction.
They captured zero legislative chambers and lost control of one - New Hampshire.
In Kentucky they were devastated. Republicans will now control the Senate 30-8 and and the House 75-25
In liberal Massachusetts, a referendum to bring ranked-choice voting to the state went down in flames 55%-45%, despite the fact that its opponents spent almost nothing, and its supporters spent $1.5 million and was backed by “The Boston Globe,” Elizabeth Warren, Ed Markey, and 2 mega-liberal ex-governors, William Weld and Duval Patrick.
