Some interesting Stats on the midterms:
- A lot of people who normally skip the midterm elections can feel they made an impact this year.
- Exit polls indicate that 16 percent of the people voting were doingso for the first time in a midterm election. And those voters were choosing Democrats over Republicans by a rate of 62% to 35%
- Campaigns spent more than three-billion dollars on traditional media advertising ahead of Election Day – about a billion MORE than the 2014 midterms.
- More women are headed to Congress than ever before. Results from the midterm election are still coming in, but women are on track to exceed the previous record of 107. Among them? Rashida Tlaib [[tah-LEEB]] and Ilhan Omar of Minnesota, who are the first Muslim women to be elected to Congress.
- On a related note, Congress will now have the first two Native American women in place. Democrats Sharice Davids (of Kansas) and Deb Haaland (of New Mexico) will be sworn in.
