^ One reason to care is that the House of Representatives has a Republican majority: 238 Republicans to 193 Democrats. Personally, I'd like to see that majority chipped away, even if it's just one seat at a time.
Another reason is that the vote sends a two-fold message; one about the particular candidates and another about the parties they have allegiance to.
So in this case the messages to America are:
1. Thuggery over Musicianship.
2. Go Trump - we like what you're doing.
I don't subscribe to either of those ideas, so the small comfort I draw from this result is that at least MB voted for the Democratic bluegrass guy.
