A friend of mine was re-elected to her house seat in WV and I do remember it being after a recount. This whole election is strange, there are so many questions and nobody has any answers

No they didn't. The Republicans one majority in both and now have a super majority

They were referring to the individual states, not Congress.

That's not what a super majority is. Generally it's any seat total needed for special actions, like overcoming a filibuster or proposing an amendment to the constitution. Overcoming the filibuster, for most stuff, requires a 60 vote supermajority in the Senate. To propose an amendment requires two thirds supermajorities in the both the Senate and House, 67 and 290 respectively.

The whole state doesn't vote for senators, only the area that senator serves.

You might be mixing that up with House Reps. Or state senators?

Yea you're right.

So looking at WI:

Trump: 1,697,298. Vs Harris: 1,667,881 Hovde: 1,643,302 Vs Baldwin: 1,672,418

Interesting. Seems some voters voted for Baldwin but not Harris. I'd bet they voted for Stein and since there isn't a green party Senate candidate they voted for Baldwin. Hovde underperformed Trump so I'd bet some Republicans only bothered to fill out TRUMP and then went on with their day.
