State Legislatures and Redistricting

[Southern Senator North Carolina Yankee]

Republican pickups (though not all affect redistricting, of course):

Alabama House and Senate
Colorado House (possibly, NCSL still has it out)
Indiana House
Iowa House
Maine House and Senate
Michigan House
Minnesota House and Senate (WTF?!)
Montana House
New Hampshire House and Senate
North Carolina House and Senate
Ohio House
Pennsylvania House
Wisconsin Assembly and Senate

Oregon's House looks like it'll be thin, it's currently 28-28 with 4 seats left. The Oregon Senate is possibly going to be a 15-15 tie.

Amusingly, it looks like the Republicans are down to only one seat in the Hawaii Senate.

"Dems are likely to hold the MI House"

lol

Really I am not surprised. With the GOP gaining double digit numbers in so many states, I had a feeling MI went to complete GOP control. I had a feeling that with the wave, Snyder's margin, and Dem problems both nationwide and in the state, the Dems were in trouble.

Hurray. Republicans won the Colorado House...by 1

They also won two of the three row offices or whatever they are called (AG Suthers won reelection and the SOS went Repub). Who is leading in the Treasurer race, has it been called yet? Green Papers says no.

GOP did well down ballot in CO comparative to the Senate and Governor elections.

So what's the current total in the NY Senate?

30 GOP-29 Dem with 3 undecided, but that article was a few days old, so some have been called by now, most likely.

Because of a party switcher, the Democratic caucus in the MS HOR is now majority black.


Democratic bench of potential blue dogs for Senate and House is being wiped out in these states.

The NCLS website http://www.ncsl.org/tabid/21253/default.aspx now shows the Mississippi Senate at 25-D, 24-R with 3 vacancies.  I'm not sure if the vacancies are possible GOP gains, but at least one must be a Republican district as the lineup was reported as 27-D, 25-R not too many days ago.  So, perhaps a Republican take-over looms here.

Alan Nunnelee (R) was elected to the House in MS-01. So he is the Republican vacancy.
