GOP controls the House

First, while Republicans, as of this writing, received a plurality of votes cast for Congress nationwide this year—49.9 percent, again according data from the Cook Political Report—they received a greater share, 55.2 percent, of the seats. Democrats, as a result, won a smaller share of seats than they did votes: 44.8 percent of seats as compared to 47.3 percent of the votes.

Supreme Court

The people don't vote for justices, the court shouldn't be thought of being controlled by one party or another, and let's not get into what happened with Gorsuch
