Net Seat Change for House Elections
Shouldn't the table at the top include the net seat change for House elections? This would improve consistency, as the table already shows the Electoral College vote numbers and the net seat change for Senate elections. — Preceding unsigned comment added by LordofChaos55 (talk • contribs) 19:41, 11 January 2021 (UTC)
 * Added. We had been holding off because there were some uncalled races, but at this point there's just one outstanding race left and we can always change the number once it's decided. Orser67 (talk) 23:08, 11 January 2021 (UTC)

Strange edit
I tried to undo an edit, and for some reason although the edit had removed 1,141 bytes, undoing it only added 2. It clearly did not undo the edit, but now it's saying I can't undo it because I've already undone it.

 * ❌. Democratic is the proper adjective. Carter (Tcr25) (talk) 02:04, 22 December 2022 (UTC)
 * And Democrat Party (epithet), well, it's an epithet. – Muboshgu (talk) 02:20, 22 December 2022 (UTC)
 * It's the party of Democrats therefore it's the "Democrat party" if they wanted to be called the "Democratic Party" they should have called themselves "Democratics." 68.161.87.251 (talk) 21:21, 13 October 2023 (UTC)

Bias
“Deadly Attack” on January 6th makes the false implication that it was rioters that caused the death instead of a police officer shooting a protestor. 50.27.110.27 (talk) 15:17, 2 August 2023 (UTC)


 * No, "deadly attack" means it was an attack that was deadly, which it was to several people, including police officers. – Muboshgu (talk) 15:21, 2 August 2023 (UTC)
 * No police officers did not die from the attack.. one was naturl causes the next day. and now foot0age0 is comming out on officers w0ho lied0 about even being injured. not only lied about that but lied about preforming cpr on a woman. It's sad that people will lie to pus0h their own agenda a lot like the company. no one needs their context pushed on the to try to control how people 2607:FB91:1E4F:D75B:90D6:840E:7F16:C405 (talk) 09:25, 13 August 2023 (UTC)


 * I agree. "Deadly attack" should not be used to describe the riot on Jan.6. There was no plan to attack anyone. The riot only got violent when cops threw teargas into the crowd and the American Patriots threw it back at them. 2601:586:D020:906B:99DC:67B9:F9DC:F04D (talk) 02:45, 4 July 2024 (UTC)

Merlyn78 (talk) 17:12, 11 September 2023 (UTC) Trump's Election Speech (the one that incited the January 6th Attack on the Capitol) was given on January 6th, 2021. In his speech, he even said he would march with them, immediately after the speech. Wikipedia is, incorrectly, reporting that the speech took place on November 3rd, 2020.

Again, the correct date on which the speech took place on January 6th, 2021.

To those that wrote this, "resulted in a deadly attack at the US Capitol" - This makes it sound like the people who entered the Capitol were murderers, when in fact, the only one who was killed with the intention to kill, was one of the people who entered the Capitol (yes, she illegally entered). Come on, do better. Let me guess, 99.9% of the authors and editors are left leaning? Exactly. 2603:6011:5F39:D89D:9D1F:9790:1D00:D5E7 (talk) 23:38, 7 May 2024 (UTC)
