The American people have gone to the polls and chosen a divided government.  On November 6th, Democrats took back the majority in the House of Representatives giving them a check on the ability of Republicans and the White House to move federal legislation.

According to New York Times estimates, 114 million votes were cast in House races, up from the 83 million in the last midterm elections in 2014.
