The last point is rather standard though. Unless they've lost their minds then Democrats run their most right-wing candidates in deep red states and Republicans their most liberal candidates in deep blue states.
In the voters wanted a Republican there was still one on the ballot.
As for turnout I am not sure how it compares to before, it's actually pretty difficult to find anywhere that tells me this.
If you know of anywhere that's reporting the numbers let me know.
