Popular vote anybody?
I guess its relatively meaningless but still some sort of information to see which parties got more votes overall. 80.131.62.210 (talk) 19:29, 17 November 2022 (UTC)
- The 2020 article shows that under the Election Results section. However, given that this just recently happened, it is likely that it will take some time for a similar section to be created here. --Super Goku V (talk) 23:48, 17 November 2022 (UTC)
- I think it would be best to wait until every state has certified its votes to add the popular vote for the Senate, especially considering how long it's taking California. I do have a separate question, though. For states that use ranked-choice voting, do we use the final round (the first round where a candidate got over 50% of the vote) in popular vote calculations, or do we use the first round? I would imagine the final round, but I just want to make sure. OutlawRun (talk) 02:40, 20 November 2022 (UTC)
- cool, any idea when that would get finished though? KratosVAsphodel (talk) 07:13, 29 November 2022 (UTC)
Fixing tenses...
As a first-time reader of this page, it was, at times, challenging to decipher which was the most-current results. Post-election, much of the background information remains in the past tense. Especially in the state-by-state Senate results (I got as far as the end of that section before writing), and elsewhere throughout. MishaAmI (talk) 15:45, 29 December 2022 (UTC)
Inclusion of VP in the infobox
Ok, I haven't found the revision that introduced the 48+VP language yet, but it was sometime in the last year. Points in favor of not including the VP at all in the majority number at all are that: We already have the majorities bolded and a note about tiebreakers at the top of the infobox, and that it could be confusing to a reader to see that the VP is present before the election but not after. Points in favor of having the VP in the pre-election majority number: it's accurate, and there's a note right there explaining it if anyone's confused.
I could be convinced either way. What I can't be convinced of is including the VP in majorities where that does not impact whether there is a majority. TheSavageNorwegian 18:34, 21 April 2024 (UTC)
- I am of the opinion that the VP indicator should only be there when the VP's presence breaks the tie to determine the majority. I generally think it should be visible as it has been instead of just as a footnote, but other state legislative pages have simply used footnotes to explain lieutenant governors breaking ties or other things like that. We have precedent for the "+VP" indicator going back to at least the 2020 election when Democrats narrowly won control, so I lean on that instinctually, but I could be convinced that it only needs to be in a footnote.
