In September, West Virginia passed a law effectively banning abortion. In July, California enacted a law allowing citizens to sue gun merchants for making or selling illegal firearms. In 2021, Georgia, Florida and Texas were among the states to tighten their voting laws in response to false claims of voter fraud. The same year, Illinois became the first state to eliminate cash bail.
These momentous policy changes were only possible because the same party controlled the state Senate, state House and governorship. When one party enjoys a state-government “trifecta” or has enough of a legislative majority to override vetoes by a governor of the opposite party, it can enact virtually any legislation.
Currently, 44 percent of the population1 resides in one of the 25 states where Republicans control state government, and 38 percent live in one of the 16 states controlled by Democrats. But that could change after the midterms when 88 state-legislative chambers and 36 governorships are on the ballot.

You should get running again in your new area.
I think…..I hope…..our country is waking up ( not woke) to the great need of paying attention to their local politics……get involved!
State legislatures can make or break your state!

Unfortunately, since the census, blue states with majority rule have gerrymandered the districts for Democrat wins.
Never, never, never, never, never, never, never.
First paragraph: “In 2021, Georgia, Florida and Texas were among the states to tighten their voting laws in response to false claims of voter fraud.”
Stopped reading right there, not worth continuing.
No! but this shows the commies are giving up on the House and the Senate. Hopefully they won’t steal everything this time!
The Republicans are going to capture the governorship in Wisconsin and there’s a decent chance, in Michigan too. A real MAGA Republican instead of a RINO squish is going to be the governor of Arizona.
Those 3 states are going to enact real election integrity laws to prevent the real election fraud that took place in 2020. They will ignore the false denials and lies of election fraud perpetuated by the corporate media.
With any luck, Pennsylvania too will join those other states in electing a Republican governor and enacting election integrity laws with teeth.
Deep State may not be willing to tip Italian hand by stealing high profile governor’s races.
So it might settle for stealing legislatures instead.
...to tip its hand...
(I was wondering how the Italians got in there)……:)
Unfortunately, not. You've gotta give it to the Democrats -- they NEVER give up. And why should they? Not one person was prosecuted over the Steal of the Century in 2020. It's easy to steal when you're embedded spies, the RINOs, refuse to enforce voter ID. Those same RINOs, even if they lost their primaries, will be overseeing the Mid-Terms, and they are fine with Dems cheating as long as it's against a MAGA candidate.
My spell check is EVIL.
Luckily, red states did the same thing. You should see Florida they took my district which is huge and made it smaller. They took a big chunk of the villages out of it. We’re still red, but they had a Claremont which I don’t know how to read that is.
So sorry but I ALWAYS stop reading any article at the “False claims of voter fraud” cue. It’s the surest sign of a colored by leftist progressive mindset and THAT is just the simplest of facts. Any article that hides or dismisses one side of the facts to promote their view of the “facts” is NOT an excellent article and is NOT worth reading. The comments, though, are telling...and they’re telling me it’s another “birdcage liner” or “fish wrap” of an article. But read on if you like.it’s your mind to warp. Not pretty but pretty simple.
If my neighborhood is any indication, I see more enthusiasm for cleaning house than ever. One neighbor I called yesterday was foaming at the mouth talking about how badly he wants to see Tiffany Smiley kick the odious Patty Murray’s ample ass in 8 days! His lips to God’s ears!
No problem at all, and I totally understand!
No problem, I get it!
A vote for ANY democrat is a vote for the destruction of America..... If you don’t believe that, you have not lived in America during 2021 and 2022....
