But a LOT more total votes then, right? (As one should expect in a mid-term, but still for a while we were ahead of 16 in totals)
Thursday 10/20/16: REPs - 369,467, DEMs - 356,635 lead of 12,832 for REPs, 41.7% to 40.2%
Thursday 10/18/18: REPs - 301,825, DEMs - 258,727 lead of 43,098 for REPs, 44.2% to 37.9%
Fewer ballots returned this year, but a bigger lead.
