This is why the 2022 midterms were so enlightening for me. Democrats rebounded bigly in major swing states that will have implications for this year's elections.
I feel like 2022 was the year where Democrats finally climbed out of the hole they had been in at the state level since 2010.
Furthermore, now MI/WI/PA/AZ all have fair state legislative maps, in TX and GA favorable geography limits the effectiveness of R gerrymanders; NC is really the only swing state where Rs have close to a true lock on power now.
R’s don’t have a lock on power in NC because county splitting rules make it tough to lock in a supermajority.
