There was a US map shown on MSNBC showing all the places

that moved left, marking them all with left pointing arrows.
It’s very impressive! I’m looking for it now but can’t find it. Anyone know what I’m talking about, and where to find it?

"Over all, 2018’s shift to the left was smaller than the one in 2006, the last time the Democrats flipped the House. And it was half the size of the most recent Republican wave in 2010 when districts shifted more than 19 points to the right."

Kind of depressing.

I think here they are focusing on vote totals for Dems vs Reps. If you instead count seats won (and it takes only a one vote margin to win a seat) the Dems flipped more seats than any year since Watergate.
