I didn't really follow politics closely back then, but were republicans successful at flipping state legislature seats before 2010 midterms?

Yeah, but it was more of a long slog thing. A few here, a few there.

Why are there so so so many more special state legislature elections this year than in 2010?

He won the seat 52-48, Kander won it 55-45 and Koster won it 52-48

This is a lie

He won it 57-40

In still amazes me that the democrats did not LOSE A SINGLE state legislature seat or state senate seat before the 2010 midterm elections.

One would have assumed that at least a couple would have flipped.

Can someone explain to me why in 2010 there were so few special elections on the state level? Same holds for 2006, 2014, etc.

Why is this year so unusually packed with state level special elections?

Is Columbia county becoming reddish? Trump won it in 2016.

This is going to reinforce the twitter narrative that latino enthusiasm may be an issue

It’s not surprising that dems in CT underperformed

It’s the blue version of Kansas....state is in fiscal shambles. Incumbent party blamed

Remember, this 55-42 Clinton state almost went red in a 2018 blue wave year
