After hearing various people point out that the democrats got ~8M more votes than republicans in 2018 I wanted to see the data myself. Inexplicably, it doesn't exist in an easily consumable format on the internet.
So I grabbed the json that was being fed to CNN's election results page and extracted the data out into a simple spreadsheet. I figured I might as well share.
PS - Regarding the 8M "house popular vote" democrat edge... The democrats had 39 uncontested seats (ie no republican in the race). Those races add up to 6M votes and explain it rather well. (not to mention that they did win more seats in the house so it would make sense that they had a "house popular vote" edge).
