Republicans hold the majority in 56 chambers, and Democrats hold the majority in 39 chambers. One chamber (Alaska House) is organized under a multipartisan, power-sharing coalition. As of November 17, control of four legislative chambers remained uncalled following the 2022 elections. Click here for more details.

With these majorities, why can’t they clean up vote fraud?
And how does this change in January?
It isn’t reasonable to believe the Republicans won’t have increased majorities in 2023 absent collusion and election fraud.
democrats don’t care how many illegal votes live in one squalid room
That would be 54% spineless, capitulating Republicans
Voting Fraud is Localized in areas where there is no oversight. Its in Strategic places planned for in secret in ahead of time.
Two words: Controlled Opposition
I don't think it is all that secret to be honest with you. Its just not enough people are listening
Why did they push back on Trump’s MAGA agenda and pin him down when they had Senate and House.
Answer to your question is the same as the answer to the above.
Because they don’t want to clean up voter fraud.
They don’t want a MAGA agenda.
Having 54% of the state Senate and Congressional seats doesn’t mean squat.
According to the 2020 election results, Donald Trump won around 2,500 counties and Joe Biden (supposedly) won around 500 counties. And Joe Biden is the current resident of the White House.
What makes a difference is what legislatures are controlled by Republicans and whether they can effect changes in election laws, policies and procedures in the right states. I don’t think they do and because they don’t, the election results will continue to favor the Democrats.
And since the Democrats seem to have control of legislatures in most of the swing states and the high electoral count states, we may never see another fair Presidential election . . .
Do we have the raw numbers voted R in the Senate? House? I heard something like 52 million (r) to 47 million (d).
"54% of state legislatures are Republican, 44% Democratic following 2022 general election (same percentages as before election)"
I suspect that even Democratic-controlled states might be willing to help put a stop to unconstitutional federal taxes, taxes that the corrupt, post-17th Amendment ratification Congress cannot reasonably justify under its constitutional Article I, Section 8-limited powers.
"Congress is not empowered to tax for those purposes which are within the exclusive province of the States." —Justice John Marshall, Gibbons v. Ogden, 1824.
More specifically, Democratic states might be willing to help support a new amendment to the Constitution, an amendment limited to repealing the 16th (direct taxes) and 17th (popular vote for federal senators) Amendments, possibly little, or ideally no discussion required before ratifying such an amendment.
More specifically, let's see if patriots can tap the deal-making mastery of Trump 47 to try to make such an amendment happen since he wants to amend the Constitution anyway.
Once unconstitutional federal taxes are stopped then the states will ultimately find a tsunami of new revenues (imo) that they can use to start 10th Amendment-based state social spending programs to replace FDR-era established unconstitutional federal social spending programs.
In fact, the congressional record shows that Rep. John Bingham, a constitutional lawmaker, had clarified that the delegates to the Constitutional Convention had intended for the states, not the federal government, to serve the daily needs of the people.
”Simply this, that the care of the property, the liberty, and the life of the citizen, under the solemn sanction of an oath imposed by your Constitution, is in the States and not in the federal government [emphases added]. I have sought to effect no change in that respect in the Constitution of the country.” —John Bingham, Congressional. Globe. 1866, page 1292 (see top half of third column)
Consider that Justice Louis Brandeis had reflected on Bingham's words above when he introduced his "laboratories of democracy" metaphor to emphasize the 10A-protected power of the states to serve the people, ultimately depending on the kind of services that legal majority citizen voters of a given state want.
"[...] a single courageous State may, if its citizens choose, serve as a laboratory; and try novel social and economic experiments without risk to the rest of the country." —Justice Louis Brandeis, Laboratories of Democracy.
The problem now is that the unconstitutionally big federal government keeps stealing state revenues with unconstitutional federal taxes.
In fact, career state lawmakers who probably don't understand the federal government's constitutionally limited powers any better than the ordinary voters who elected them do, probably that brag about winning so-called "federal" funding for state projects to get themselves reelected.
Trump's red tsunami of patriot supporters need to wake their state lawmakers up to the constitutional reality that such "federal" funding is arguably state revenues that the feds are continuously stealing from the states by means of unconstitutional federal taxes.
Insights welcome.
The proper term is “Democrat”, not “Democratic”. They are not democratic, they are communist.
54% GOP but half are feckless.
Because RINOs in Arizona and Georgia would rather see MAGA candidates lose than clean up voter fraud.

“Voting Fraud is Localized in areas where there is no oversight. Its in Strategic places planned for in secret in ahead of time.”
In states like mine (Washington), we have 100 percent mail-in voting. Motor voter laws get you registered. All you have to do is check the box that says you’re a U.S. citizen and voila, you get a ballot. It’s all on the honor system and the left cheats like hell.
The fraud is systemic and state wide.
