The Midterm elections were played to a draw. We saw approximately 114 million votes for U.S. House races compared to 83 million in 2014. (Democrats won the total vote by at least 6%) There were 114 million votes in 2018 compared to 126 million votes in the 2016 presidential election -- a 20 year low for a presidential race.
