The interpretation that is most appropriate for the sentence "When he received the news that he had lost the election, he did not bat an eyelid" is that he showed no feelings. To "not bat an eyelid" means to not show any visible sign of surprise or emotion in response to something unexpected or shocking. Therefore, the person did not react or show any emotion upon hearing the news of his election loss. This suggests that he was either prepared for the possibility of losing or he was not emotionally invested in the outcome of the election.
