Ten years ago, Republicans routed Democrats in state legislative races across the country — gaining control of more seats than they had since 1928 and earning control of 54 of the 99 state legislative chambers, their highest total in 58 years, according to the National Conference of State Legislatures (NCSL).
State house races are extremely important every cycle — they can decide to expand Medicaid, pass restrictions on abortion, enact criminal justice reform, or any array of policy decisions. But every 10 years, their importance is magnified after the census is taken and they are tasked with the process of redistricting legislative and congressional boundaries (which can decide partisan control of state legislatures and the US Congress for the next decade).
This year, banking on a blue wave, Democrats staked out an ambitious map aiming to spend $50 million to win legislative majorities in GOP-held chambers and gain control of key chambers in advance of next year’s redistricting fights. The Democratic Legislative Campaign Committee (DLCC) targeted both chambers in Arizona, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, and Kansas as well as the Iowa and Michigan Houses and the Minnesota Senate.
In the end, Democrats raised $88 million to Republicans’ $60 million — but they don’t have much to show for it.
Votes in Arizona are still being counted, but if those chambers remain in GOP hands, Democrats will have failed to flip a single state chamber. In fact, the only chambers that will have changed hands are the New Hampshire House and Senate, which flipped to Republican control.

Doesn’t matter, they can just print ballots to get elected
Doesn’t matter, they can just print ballots to get elected
Actually, it does matter. Success in a party's down-ballot races depend heavily on the "big guy" at the top of the ticket, such as a candidate for governor or President who draws people out to vote, who wind up voting for the rest of the offices down the party line.
That didn't happen. Dems got whacked in the down-ballot all over the country because so few people actually voted for Biden. Even the monkeys who filled out millions of fraudulent ballots in the middle of the night didn't have the time or the courtesy to fill in the blank for anyone except Biden.
In the US Constitution, it's state legislatures who have the power to appoint the electors of the President. Nowadays, they delegate that decision to a popular vote. But they don't have to, and they write the rules. A lot of legislatures in key states are majority Republican. Unless I'm mistaken, if the fraud has made the Presidential results impossible to interpret fairly, those legislatures could declare their state's Presidential results void and appoint all Trump electors themselves.
Dems lose up to 15 house seats
GOP holds the Senate even with 2.5X more seats to defend
GOP governorships increase
GOP increases control of state legislatures
But Trump loses election to Biden?
Total Bullshit!
Well, that is true, it does review the fact that the fraud didn’t have the time to go through the ballots and mark the entire ballot.
If that doesn’t say it all!!!!
Not quite - we still have to win at least 1 out of the 2 Senate seats in Georgia - one of them is going to runoff, possibly both.
They’ll just resettle all the new immigrants and refugees to those district
