In 2016 Election - How Many Seats - House & Senate - Did Repugs Win By A Close Margin?....

If the Russians did steal votes (hijack the election) it seems to me it would be in those races where the polls going into the election were close.

Couple all the Repug dirty tricks with voter suppression that they employ to steal elections - any Russian help in close margin races would kick the Repug over the Dem.

I'm just curious now that we know the Russians might have interfered in the elections as to how many seats the Repugs won by a close margin (House & Senate).

critical swing states lost to the establishment, incumbent, republican.

That in itself seems quite odd, especially since in every one of those swing states, Hillary lost by a slimmer margin, than the corresponding Democratic candidate for Senate. That implies that a good number of those who voted for Hillary, did not for the corresponding Democratic candidate for Senate in those swing states, and that does not make sense to me.
