Down ballot, dems weirdly did decently in a number of states even though they didn't do as well for president

Wisconsin no longer has a republican super majority in their state legislature

Kentuky supreme court flipped to democratic control

There was a lot of ticket splitting and republicans who only voted for Trump and left the rest blank
