Amazing to me is that in a Michigan democrat sweep, most of the "conservative" leaning initiatives were approved and the lone leftist, MEA supported proposal lost.
Michiganders voted against racial and gender quotas and voters in other states voted to increase the minimum wage. We are a people who take pride in our fairness.

In Wisconsin, the demo sweep also brought in a GOPer Atty General.
Arizona fired tough-on-immigration GOP congressmen but passed an "English as official language" law.
Voters went mostly for Demos but seven states passed laws to define marriage as a union between a man and a woman, only.
Missouri voted for pro-embryonic stem cell research politicians but rejected a bill that would increase state funding for that research.
South Dakota roundly rejected a ban on most abortions.
And Republicans told their party that the "party" is over. Act responsibly or the rest of you are "out of here!"

Sounds to me like the voters were thoughtful, knowledgeable and, while I disagree with their democrat votes, took care to split their votes when it mattered.
Impressive.
Impressive.
This bodes well for the future.
