Nationwide. What percent of the total congressional vote was won by the Democrats?

[Captain Zero]

I'm betting it was clearly more than 50 percent nationwide. Yet here we are all even in the Senate, and the GQP with a slight edge in the house.

That alone should be a story repeated over and over.
Do it state by state to prove the severity of gerrymandering.
Seems like KORNMACKI COULD TELL US THAT.

How about it, what are those numbers??

We shouldn't have to add that up. The media should already be reporting it, for the next two years.

Anybody know where I can get election results that's not behind a god dam paywall.?

1. Way too early

Millions of votes are still uncounted in California and other places that accept late arriving mail. Check back at the end of next week.

2. Excellent question....I hope someone has the answer!

3. Epper se muova!

Just posted this site above. Republicans under DeWine had to cheat like hell, ignore the law. Appoint themselves to an independent ? committee we voted for twice,ignore the Ohio Supreme Court, use unlawful maps to win. I have seen corruption in Ohio but DeWine is the worst in my long life, good Roman Catholic he is. I bet they keep a fire extinguisher handy when he confesses.

4. He's a bad Roman Catholic.

As are Clarence Thomas, Samuel Alito, John Roberts, and a slew of others I could name. Everything they do is against church teachings, especially the things the current Pope has has emphasized as priorities.

[Walleye]

5. Joe Biden is a good Roman Catholic

[LisaM]

7. Yes, and so is Nancy Pelosi.

She was the one who called Pence and said "God Bless You". I have heard Biden say it often, too. I don't think I have ever heard a prominent right-wing Catholic say this.

[Walleye]

8. Yes her too for sure, I think of them whenever my prejudice against religion crops up

[LisaM]

12. I have a friend in Michigan who turned evangelical and went hard right.

I have no idea what happened, she was my party girl friend from the 80s and didn't use to be that way. But we still care about each other deeply, though it's been years since we have seen each other in person. We don't discuss politics.

A few days ago she posted that she was praying that wicked people would be eliminated from office. It took everything I had not to tell her that, in Michigan at least, her prayers were answered, even though she doesn't realize it.

That said, I don't believe religion belongs in politics, though I do think that things like helping the poor and loving our neighbors do belong.

13. He's a Catholic who happens to be a good person despite his religion

Not because of it.

What makes Biden and Pelosi good people is that they embrace the modern, secular values of democracy, fairness, enlightenment (education), equality and freedom. Those values didn't come from any religion. They came from hard experiences learned from the real world.

[Walleye]

15. Absolutely. Religion is good or bad depending on the person

[EYESORE 9001]

6. I am old enough to remember the shit that was said about electing JFK

At that time, it was concern over whether he was too GOOD a Catholic.

[True Blue American]

9. I remember that, too.

Jack had his failing, but a lot was exaggerated too. He cared about the country, enough to fight for it.

As I have watched Republicans over the years I can not help but wonder about his death.

Maybe, maybe not.

14. I don't normally engage in conspiracy theories but...

Look up articles on the "strange death" of Dorothy Kilgallon. Weird stuff

17. My neighbors brother

Was one of the hostages. Reagan flew him and hid BIL all over the at tax payer expense showing him off. I listened to another speak at a Paratrooper’s Convention in Boston.

[msfiddlestix]

18. In the South during the 60's Catholics were called Devil Worshipers

Satan's idol worshipping spawns.... etc.

I remember those southern baptist sermons well. It wasn't specifically that reason that turned me against religion, but it was on the list. I grew up exposed to several different churches, including Catholic church and attended catechosim, but wasn't baptised

By the time I was twelve, I decided they were all fraudsters and hypocrits, to one degree or another.

My opinion in that regard has only been confirmed over my lifetime, and broadened to include every major religious entity.

all of them, in equal measure.

[Genki Hikari]

11. Those are Catholics who happen to be bad people

Plenty that organization professes is just fine with what DeWine, Roberts & et al are all about: Anti-abortion, subjugation of women, seeking supremacy of their religion over all worldly affairs, support of authoritarian regimes (particularly monarchy), reveling in suffering so they can nurse their persecution complexes, unhealthy fixations on sex, perpetuating ignorance of the masses to make them more gullible and thus controllable, rigid conformity--And that's only scratching the surface of the awful there.

So why be surprised when some Catholics practice what the organization preaches?

[Genki Hikari]

10. Given the history of that organization

I would bet that they don't know what a fire extinguisher is in the confessional.

16. Cook Political Report was reporting Republicans were winning the percentages

While losing the races. (A higher percent of the votes than seats). This might be something that will change in the coming days, but that was an initial take away. They said that Republicans might end up with less seats than they should have. Although, Democrats messed up in New York. But the prediction is those New Republicans might not want to piss off the Democratic voters who elected them. I think a lot of Virginia voters I know had regret over Gov. Youngkin who turned out to be an extremist righty. There just weren’t that many races to prove it.
