Senate's 46 Dems Got 20 Million More Votes Than Its 54 Republicans

[Lakhota]

On Tuesday, 33 US senators elected in November will be sworn in by Vice President Joe Biden — including 12 who are new to the chamber. The class includes 22 Republicans and 11 Democrats, a big reason why the GOP has a 54-46 majority in the Senate overall.

But here's a crazy fact: those 46 Democrats got more votes than the 54 Republicans across the 2010, 2012, and 2014 elections. According to Nathan Nicholson, a researcher at the voting reform advocacy group FairVote, "the 46 Democratic caucus members in the 114th Congress received a total of 67.8 million votes in winning their seats, while the 54 Republican caucus members received 47.1 million votes."

Pretty sure that by 2016, the GOP would have made enough mistakes to get people voting the other way.

Gerrymander a state? Not the brightest bulb and all that.

The reason this happens is look at the red/blue map. The cities are controlled by the democrats that is for sure. Why they are is anyone's guess considering what the democrats have done to them. So naturally democrats elected from those districts are going to receive a large share of the vote.

But keep trying, you may actually convince someone that it wasn't an ass whooping that the left received.

True.

“Republicans face a daunting map in the Senate, where they'll defend 24 seats in 2016 -- seven in states that Obama won twice. Establishment Republicans see a need for more centrist nominees to defend those states in particular, and yet those centrist incumbents — senators like John McCain of Arizona and Rob Portman of Ohio — already have targets on their backs.”
