GOP Will Control 70 Percent of All State Legislative Chambers

[BRU]

Not bad for being told to sit in the back of the bus or being dubbed 'irrelevant' . LOL Since this article was posted however ; more good news for the GOP.... State Senates in Maine and WV have also gone red. Even Nevada's 4th Congressional District flipped lol....

Republican sweep extends to state level

Republican gains extended to state legislative chambers as well. Before Election Day, the GOP controlled 59 of 98 partisan legislative chambers across the country. On Tuesday, preliminary results showed Republicans had won control of both the Nevada Assembly and Senate, the Colorado Senate and state House chambers in Minnesota, New Mexico, Maine, West Virginia and New Hampshire. That would give the party control of 67 chambers, five more than their previous record in the modern era, set after special elections in 2011 and 2012. It also would give Republicans total control of 24 states, in which they hold the governor’s mansion and both chambers of the state legislature (Nebraska’s unicameral legislature is technically nonpartisan, but in practice Republicans control the chamber by a wide margin). Democrats, by contrast, are likely to control all three legs of the governing stool in only six states.

Bush and the ATMs did it. Also, that map is racist.
