But on average, even in races that went against them, Democrats have improved on their margins from the 2016 rout. In other Tuesday elections, Democrat Dennis Degenhardt won 43 percent of the vote in Wisconsin's 58th state assembly district; in 2016, Hillary Clinton won just 28 percent of the vote there, and no Democrat contested the seat. In Iowa's sixth House district, Democrat Rita DeJong won 44 percent of the vote; in 2016, the party's nominee won just 35 percent. In South Carolina's 99th district, Democrat Cindy Boatwright lost with 43 percent of the vote; the party had not run a candidate for the seat in this decade.
