It's the percentage of votes cast in the presidential race in excess of the votes cast in the Senate race

Yep. There are lots of low information voters who simply choose not to vote in a race they probably don't know

Better than someone going down the ballot and randomly picking names based on whose name they like more.

How are we supposed to avoid the emotions of the election results if we can't claim the results are fraudulent?

It's this OP that is wrong, they used the numbers from both Dem and red ballots together.

People splitting tickets differently than you think they should have is not evidence of fraud.
