I suspect in some states, Arizona, Nevada, Wisconsin, some repugs split the ticket. What else would

explain Evers winning in Wisconsin, but Barnes losing the Senate, the 5 point lead of Kelly in Arizona, while a much closer race for governor, and similar phenomena in Nevada, where we are winning a lot of races, and I fully expect us to win the Senate race there, but we lost the Governor there

If true, we will need to turn out a lot more voters in the Georgia runoff, and 2004 election to clinch a significant majority

1. I'll tell you what I'd like them to slit.

(It's less hilarious now that the OP has corrected their typo)

2. Most likely independent voters

It sounds to me these are the type that leans right but couldn't stomach extreme MAGA. So they pick "normal" republicans where they could and then go with democrats for the seats with crazy MAGA.

3. Yes

I checked Ralston’s website and in my state of NV, the Republican challenger Lombardo won over Democratic incumbent governor Sisolak. But then look at the list of those projected to win statewide offices as of Friday-

Democrat Attorney General Aaron Ford (incumbent) sailed to a quick victory over his firebrand Republican opponent, Sigal Chattah

Incumbent Democrat Treasurer Zach Conine, who beat out a challenge by Republican Michele Fiore

Democrat Cisco Aguilar, who won over Republican challenger Jim Marchant in the race for secretary of state

Republican Stavros Anthony, who successfully challenged Lt. Gov. Lisa Cano Burkhead for lieutenant governor

Republican Andy Matthews, who defeated Democrat Ellen Spiegel in the race for controller

Meanwhile, the 3 incumbent Democratic US House Reps appear to have won re-election. And it appears that incumbent Senator CCM will prevail over challenger Laxalt once all the mail in votes are tallied from Clark County (Las Vegas).

It was split. I voted straight D, but maybe R voters split their votes.

4. Thanks for the breakdown

7. Or independents

were the vote splitters

[Deminpenn]

5. Ticketsplitting happened in PA, too

There were a significant number of Shapiro/Oz voters judging by the difference in votes between Shapiro and Fetterman.

6. I wouldn't be surprised

8. Nevada has a fairly large number of registered non-partisan voters

lots of split tickets are no surprise here
