I know I'm one of those annoying correcting guys (lol), as I did some Senate makeup calculations for this TL and discovered the new balance of power should be 51 Republicans and 49 Democrats, not 52 R and 48 D (Republicans should have a narrower majority). Below is a breakdown.
2016 Results 51 Democrats (+5)
49 Republicans (-5)
Post-Murkowski and Kaine Resignations 52 Democrats (+1)
48 Republicans (-1)
Post-2017 Special Elections Makeup50 Democrats (-2)
50 Republicans (+2)
2018 Results (34 seats up: 24 Democratic, 10 Republican) 56 Republicans (+6)
44 Democrats (-6)
Republicans won 16/34 of these seats:
Arizona
Arizona (Special)
Florida
Indiana
Mississippi
Missouri
Montana
Nebraska
North Dakota
Tennessee
Texas
Utah (McMullin caucusing)
Virginia
West Virginia
Wisconsin
Wyoming
= (50 - 10) + 16 = 40 + 16 =
56 seats (not 57)
Democrats won the remaining 18/34 seats:
California
Connecticut
Delaware
Hawaii
Maine (King caucusing)
Maryland
Massachusetts
Michigan
Minnesota
Nevada
New Jersey
New Mexico
New York
Ohio
Pennsylvania
Rhode Island
Vermont (Sanders caucusing)
Washington
= (50 - 24) + 18 = 26 + 18 =
44 seats (not 43)
Therefore, here's the more accurate 2020 Results: Republicans:
51 (-5)
Democrats:
49 (+5)
Also, it was indicated on the 2018 midterms results that the new House of Representatives makeup was 252 R to 183 D. If the Dems gained 9 seats as mentioned on the "President-elect Kasich" post, shouldn't the new House of Representatives makeup be 243 R to 192 D (not 246-189)?
Sorry for the long post haha
