I already pointed out your “44 seats” lie.

That claim requires one to ignore the seats that the GOP flipped from the Democrats.

Ballotpedia actually catalogs all of the net changes from the State legislative special elections.

President Trump took Office in January 2017. So let’s look at how many seats actually flipped in 2017 and 2018.

https://ballotpedia.org/State_legislative_special_elections,_2017

In total, 17 state legislative seats flipped party control in 2017. Democrats flipped 14 seats and Republicans flipped three seats as a result of special state legislative elections in 2017.

14-3 = 11 net change toward the Democrats.

In 2018, as of June, 11 seats flipped as a result of state legislative special elections. Ten seats flipped from Republican control to Democratic control. One seat flipped from Democratic control to Republican control.

10-1 = 9 Net change toward the Democrats.

If we take the 11 net change in 2017 and the 9 net change in 2018, we get 20.

If you add the 15 seats the GOP lost in Virginia in 2017 you get 35. Add the 3 from New Jersey, it’s 38.

38. Not 44.

Why do you keep lying?
