"On Tuesday night, Democrats flipped two Republican-held state legislative seats -- one in Oklahoma, one in New Hampshire -- that Donald Trump carried in the 2016 election.
That makes six turnovers from Republican to Democrat in contested state House and Senate races so far in 2017 -- and 26 out of 35 races (at the state legislative and congressional level) in which the Democratic nominee has overperformed Hillary Clinton's showing last November. (Worth noting: Republicans have yet to flip a Democratic-controlled seat so far this year.)"

The Republicans had a ridiculously successful 2016 in local races.
Most are based on local issues and decided with very low turnout in special elections.
Just saying...
This is state ####?
We’ve won a million seats the past few years statewide.
When it gets to 60 get back to me.
The usual Leftist media BS, making something out of nothing and completely ignoring all the actual Congressional seats the Republicans won that the media desperately hoped they’d lose.
Yes, and ignoring all of the Democrat losses that took place at all sorts of levels when The One was in the White House.
“How many congressional seats have we won? Those are quite a bit more important than state legislature seats.”
Yours and other comments make me feel better. Also I know GOP registration numbers are making good to large net gains in all but I believe two swing states but....
didn’t the dems’ downfall start at the state level?
I mean we haven’t won one state seat this year.
Because they are inconsequential state house seats, separated by hundreds of miles, based on who knows what local issues?
We’ve had Democrats whole-sale just switch parties recently after losing thousands of seats the past 8 years.
Just you and two or three buddies each can sway the outcome. FREEPERS ALONE can change elections. There are millions of us.
There were 6 people who vote at the place I went yesterday. Not 6 people in line, 6 people ALL DAY.
IF YOU LAZY ASSES DON'T GET OFF YOUR KEYBOARDS WE'LL GET SOMEONE LIKE HILLIARY AND PELOSI RUNNING THINGS AGAIN.
DON'T COUNT ON TRUMP TO BAIL YOUR ASSES OUT EVERY ELECTION.
Which of you could have voted and didn't? RAISE YOUR HANDS DAMMIT I want names...
They can afford, even with their poor fundraising, to pour money into those low-level seats.
Repubs in congress weaken daily with their failure to advance conservative bills.
I should vote Republican because why exactly?
What was the differential in campaign expenditures?
The Left is desperate for ANY win, “at any cost.”
BECAUSE ITS PRIMARIES- that’t the time to get rid of RINO’s and put in someone else.
Incumbent RINO’s especially
are you new here?
Someone else like who? Another RINO?
The GOP belongs in the dustbin of history.
Total failure, absolute betrayal. This isn’t going to be fixed with primaries.
Does anyone have any idea how insignificant one legislative seat in Oklahoma is worth? The Democrats don’t flip seats that count.
This article is akin to saying, the Dems have outscored the Republicans 6-0 . . . in the fourth quarter. Of course, the score is 156-6 but only the fourth quarter counts.
Just how many freepers are there out there? I’m sure Mr. Robinson knows.
Not saying your wrong, but I don’t care if the score is 1560-6 and our team took a knee. The Democrats and the Left want all of us, gone or relegated to serfdom for their insane ideas. I’d love to see them lose everything. Absolutely everything. I’d love to see a day where places like NYC, don’t get to decide how the state votes. Or Chicago dictating how Illinois goes. They want us eliminated or on our knees. I say we go at them the same way. I don’t want them winning, dog catcher.
Of course, most of those that won, probably won’t last as the people will realize what a moron they all are. The only thing that will save them is flooding their towns/districts with fellow Libs, to shift the vote, as they’re trying to do north of Atlanta.
“This article is akin to saying, the Dems have outscored the Republicans 6-0 . . . in the fourth quarter. Of course, the score is 156-6 but only the fourth quarter counts.”
I take your point but I just want to be sure we have 156 points. I’m not saying we’re going to lose or anything like that I just want to get a handle on things early on before hubris gets us like it did demorats in 2016.
