In the down ballot the republicans picked up 12 seats in congress but lost two senate seats. They picked up two state congresses now holding 61 of the states. Republicans gained one governorship and now hold 27 states. These gains in the state are of particular importance because of redistricting that occurs during census years and is determined by the state legislators. It is this broad base support that caused some to question the validity of the election.
