I’m still struggling with the ebonics.
Of the approximately 31 GOP State Senate candidates that didn’t win, quite a few came real close and lost by a squeaker. They were just short of 50%. So your 27% was far far from the “top 5” losers.
There are 31 confirmed Republican winner, which guarantees the GOP at least a tie, with 3 races still too close to call — which they are likely to pick up one or two (as they are ahead), and grab the majority.
