What! MN is not pure blue through and through. that’s great news. And to your newsflash here is a list for others to see the houses that are divided.

In the first column, I will put if they were dem before Tuesday, middle column if they are mixed and the third column if they were formerly repub controlled. (Forgive me if any are incorrect; I am just eyeballing this.)

For instance, MT would be /MT/MT, meaning formerly they were republican controlled and now they are divided.

And MD/MD would be they changed from dem controlled to now divided. ( I couldn’t think of an easier way for me to tally.)

Here are the sources, I compared.

Dem Then/ Divided Now / Previous Repub

WA/WA
/MT/MT
CO/CO
NM/NM
AK/AK
MN/MN (Solson mentioned already, but good to note it again)
IA (still divided)
MO/MO
IL/IL
KY (still divided)
WV/WV
/VA/VA
/PA/PA
MD/MD
/NJ/NJ (Sorry about that Christie)
MA/MA
NY (still divided)
ME/ME

So here is my tally. It looks like that we went from republican controlled to mixed in four states out of 18 that are now divided. And there was a change of divided states to red state legislatures to nine, and they were ME,MA,MD, WV,IL, MO, Mn,NM,CO and WA.

This is very heartening.

If anyone has a link with all these changes verified, please post it for us.
