Election could tip historic number of legislatures into Republican hands

Republicans have the opportunity to take control of a record number of state legislative chambers across the country this year, as Democrats play defense in unfavorable terrain.

The Republican landslide in 2010 and the subsequent redistricting process in 2012 gave the GOP control of a nearly unprecedented number of legislative chambers. Today, the party controls 59 of the 98 partisan chambers in 49 states, while Democrats control only 39 chambers (One legislature, Nebraska’s is officially nonpartisan).

Once election results are tabulated in the 6,049 legislative races on the ballot in 46 states this year, Republicans could find themselves running even more.

  2. No the libs are far out numbering conservatives. Parents are working and the kids have been raised by main stream media. Republican parents that is. All these kids want dope legal,govt to pay the bills, a cell phone and a wic card. It is not a racial thing it is a trash thing. White and Black trash living off the system.

    Willards is full of white trash. Try hanging around that town for one day. Pill heads every where you look. Cant pay my rent but I can get me and the old lady covered in tats. You know who you are.
