Republican slippage has been the worst in Brown County, where Walker had double Michels' margin with an 8-point victory over Evers in 2018. In 2014, Walker defeated Burke in Brown County by a whopping 17 points, with 58% of the vote.

Attention has mostly been focused on the defeats of election deniers at the top of the ballot, both in Michigan and nationwide. Republican Tudor Dixon lost to Gov. Gretchen Whitmer, Republican Kristina Karamo was defeated by Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson and Republican Matt DePerno was beaten by Attorney General Dana Nessel.
Democrats also wrested control of both chambers of the Michigan Legislature for the first time in almost 40 years. However, the next class of lawmakers will still include a bevy of election deniers.

And this bevy of election deniers can just sit there and stew, pondering the widespread damage they've inflicted on their party as Trump sycophants.

And then there were those Trafalgar fantasy polls

Mr Cahaly, whose outfit identified a “silent majority” support base for Mr Trump in 2016, said this new group could be hiding a margin of between 1.5 per cent and 5 per cent for the Republicans at the election, which determines which party runs Congress.
Mr Cahaly’s theory is that more conservative voters suspect government and activist agencies are targeting them using polling database information, and therefore shy away from voicing their voting intentions to pollsters.
