"Informational additions to wikibox"
As I said in my revert, most election infoboxes do not have those kinds of information in there, and it's mostly kept simple without the job titles, residence, or swing. That's the job of the rest of the section that the infobox is included in, and they don't even have their residences or swing included in most of them. Also, MOS:FONTSIZE states that "reduced or enlarged font sizes should be used sparingly" and that you should avoid using it "within page elements that already use a smaller font size, such as most text within infoboxes", as well as to "not use it for stylistic changes".

If you still want to put them in, you're probably gonna have to get consensus somewhere since it would need to affect many election infoboxes throughout the many pages, instead of just the 2020 House elections in Colorado and Georgia. While it is true that infoboxes do vary, most (if not all) do not use the information that you're using. I don't see that specific article as "distinct" to have a completely separate infobox layout to "add context". reppoptalk 23:03, 29 December 2023 (UTC)


 * Also, I just re-read your last sentence from your second-to-last edit, "distinct as well due to not having a map switcher"? What does that mean? Why would it need a map switcher? And why would the lack of a map switcher justify making stylistic choices to the infobox in this article and not doing so in any other article? reppoptalk 23:07, 29 December 2023 (UTC)
