Dylan Matthews — 40 maps and charts that explain the 2014 midterm elections

Yesterday's midterm elections featured races for everything from the US Senate to governor to state legislature and local office, along with a variety of important ballot measures. It's a lot to follow, so we at Vox figured we'd break it down the way we've broken down so many things before: in 40 maps and charts.

I was surprised how far right the millennials polled compared to 2008. They are still strongly Democrat but only by an 11 point margin now.

Additional college degrees remain the Democrats preferred elixir to solve low wages, aggregate demand, inequality, racial disparity, industrial policy and a host of other problems. Predictably the Edu-Industrial complex remains heavily democrat with most every college town in america voting Dem by a wide margin.

The Republicans should take note and begin to either work to get Edu-Industrial supporters or start cutting into the industry to remove their foes.

Look at how many voted though. The national turnout was abysmal. Looks like the Libertarians and conservatives showed up to vote and their peers on the other side didn't.
