Why did Republicans do so well in state legislatures? Financing? Are the Democrats really that bad at messaging? Curious to hear what you all think.
It certainly doesn’t help that many of the seats democrats were hoping to gain were drawn specifically to never flip to the democrats and suppress democrats in the states (Texas, Georgia, etc.)
These current seats were all drawn in the runup to 2012. Democrats have consistently lost seats in the 2010, 2012, 2014, 2016, and 2020 elections. So your post only holds weight for all seats not held by Democrats after the 2012 elections. Anything Democrats won in 2012, they should still be holding now per your post.
