Any news on state-level legislatures?

[In It to Win It]

I got nothing.

1. NC, which is extremely gerrymandered, broke the R supermajority

in both the General Assembly and Senate. So, our Dem Governor can veto their toxic laws now. Democrats have a +9 in vote totals, I believe so we almost took back our legislative branches. It's hard.

5. Nice! That's awesome

2. It's noted here elsewhere, but Dems in NY finally now control both houses of the legislature n/t

4. Good result. Now they need to do something about New York state's voting laws.

Early voting etc.

3. PA had at least a 2 state Senate and 8 state House pickups

and broke the GOP super majority!

6. CT elected its first black woman to the State Senate.

And I helped!

7. Here in Connecticut we voted for better oversight of public land sales and transportation funding

Revenues collected for transportation will now be placed in a so-called "lock-box" and can no longer be funneled elsewhere, also all public land transactions will now require a public hearing to be held before the transaction can take place.

8. New Hampshire shifted to blue. California restored a Dem supermajority.

Main went all blue, at all state levels (Gov, AG, SOS, House and Senate). Democrats broke republican supermajorities in several red states.

9. Vox says so far we've done well, but not exceptionally,

and provides a summary.

They're apparently less than typical for midterms, but of course the intensely corrupt level of gerrymandering and various geographic disadvantages that cause our votes to be wasted and Republicans' maximized have something to do with it.

Note that Republicans have picked up several U.S. Senate seats in spite of getting far fewer votes than we did in losing them, so no doubt that same sort of thing is cutting our wins at the state level.

State legislatures Democrats have flipped so far in the 2018 elections
Things went well, but not exceptionally well, for Democrats.

10. Big win in NY

The NY Senate after winning a dem majority since 2010 but a group of dems caucused with the repugs that were swept away (all except 1 Simcha Felder who is going to be very lonely), winning some additional key races and now a dem majority of 39 true dems vs 23 repugs plus Benedict Felder
