Four seats for a net majority, one upset in South Carolina, and the headline reads like a victory lap before the votes are even counted. Where’s the margin? Turnout by county? Precinct-level data that shows where Andrews actually peeled off Republicans? Nothing in the summary tells me how a deep-red state flipped, only that it did. A pediatrician beating an incumbent sounds great on a banner.
