The important thing is and will be the comparison to previous years, and to the rest of the country. People sometimes vote the top of the ticket only; are they voting the top of the ticket more than usual? More than can be explained by differences between this election and others?
My experience is yes. In Presidential years the President who wins typically makes ground in both the House and the Senate. You see a similar trend down ballot.
The fact that the enthusiasm didn't continue down ballot is unusual. Definitive proof of cheating? No, but definitely one of many unusual things this election.
