Fair! The reason, though, is that one race only has Dem candidates and the other only has GOP candidates. Who actually wins each race may wind up mattering a great deal to constituents and even the Senate as a whole, but that sort of thing is qualitative and very difficult to evaluate, especially from afar.

When you have a D vs. R race, though, there are ways we can analyze those contests on a strictly quantitative level. And just out of curiosity, I decided to look back at last cycle: There were about 60 specials that fit into the D-R rubric and around 30 that, for one reason or another, did not. So most specials do wind up on our radar!

Oh, I thought SD-23 had 2 GOP, 1 Dem. Nevermind then
You could still mention the contests, though.
