Hit link and see results of November's Senate Elections. In terms of numbers, the closest race was Alaska........45,000 was as close as it got in terms of numbers......
In terms of percent...North Carolina was the closest in terms of percent: 48.7 to 46.9...
.Yes that was close, in terms of percent, but the difference in the outcome was close to a million votes...

Usually, we have at least one or two senate seats with a 10,000 vote difference and a recount is needed. Not this time, because, in my opinion the U.S.A. has become far more divided than in the past.
This is NOT good because that division is the exact opposite of bringing the nation together to
solve any of our problems. Cooperation is a key to solutions, and division is what that link proves.
And we all know who fostered and encouraged this division, Donald Trump.
That division is a very bad result of his presidency.
It is the exact opposite of what a President of the U.S.A. is supposed to do. As said before,
a president is supposed to bring us together, not divide us. Final Note: I looked at all the states at the link, and found no close elections. (Alaska was the closest that I found.) If there was one closer, I missed it. Sorry for any errors.
Hit this link to see election results that prove there were no close senate elections last month..:

(This is my opinion only,) As states in the union move in total opposition to each other, (sort of what the election numbers show) that is not good for us. Looking at the numbers results finds a large difference between the north vs the south, east vs south, etc. Texas is very strongly Republican, and Minnesota is strongly Democratic as is Illinois.
....The country's attitude towards our fellow Americans is less not united in this way. I guess that is my opinion on this

(5,522 posts)That's just logic. A 90/10 election would show more consensus in the general population for one or the other party.
