79% for Democrats, less than 60% for Republicans.

There is no better proof than this that GOTV is VITAL!!!!!!!!!!

I didn't see a lot of repudiation of Trump in the vote. I think it was a combination of Lamb being inspiring, Saccone being anything but (as well as a nasty-ass jerk who campaigned as if he were running against a sex offender instead of an energetic, youthful ex-marine), and general Republican fatigue. I think many stayed home because they couldn't bring themselves to vote for a Democrat, and yet were disgusted with the whole Republican package as it presents itself these days.
