Temporarily setting the clear signs of shenanigans aside.
It wouldn’t entirely have been unexpected for at least some seats in Swing States to flip Dem even if the State goes Republican at the Executive Level. A not insignificant amount of people nurse the belief that voting one party into the Whitehouse and then handing the other party control of one or both parts of Congress. Serves as a check on the Party currently occupying the Whitehouse.
When all it really does it creates a gridlock where nothing can happen. And the same people then whine Congress isn’t doing anything. And whoever is in the Whitehouse isn’t meeting campaign promises.
