>> The Republican wave that swept over the states left Democrats at their weakest point in state legislatures since the 1920s. Everything went in the direction of the GOP as Republicans seized new majorities in the West Virginia House, Nevada Assembly and Senate, New Hampshire House, Minnesota House and New York Senate, The West Virginia Senate is now tied. <<

Meanwhile, in Illinois...

... where a "Republican" was allegedly "elected" Governor easily but the GOP didn't gain ANY seats in the state house and the Dems continue to enjoy a veto proof majority:

Perfect cartoon.

Only signs that appeared in my neighborhood the day before the election? 3 Lisa Madigan sides near the polling place. I put them in the trash this morning.

CT has gone from 114 DEM - 37 GOP to:
64 GOP in the state House ... in the last three elections.
Yes, a gain of 27.

Our House seats average 8000 voters ... 22% as large as ILLINOIS. It makes it easier for novice candidates to run because of the small size.

Our 36 Senate seats are each the size of your House seats.

I do not see the veto proof.
It was 71 to 47 in the House of ILL. What is it now?

I also did not mention above:
DEMS do not control the redistricting. It is an 8-person committee ... 4 DEM, 4 RINO. So the seats are negotiated. RINOs and Progressive incumbents are protected.
Dissident DEMS and Conservatives are punished.
