2. hopefully it keeps up. and it helps a lot that there is a Dem Gov and not some republicans

who try to change voting laws which tend to target mostly black and other minority areas in a way to depress turnout there.

5. Will it be possible/likely to flip some GOP House seats in 2018? nt

7. There's some serious gerrymandering here

Bobby Scott's district was ruled to be illegally drawn so that allowed McEachin to win a seat in another district. BUT in a state where Dems have won the last three POTUS elections, 3 of the last 4 Governor races, and the last 4 Senate races there are 8 Republican Congressmen and 3 Dems.

6. That's an increase? Out of 7 million people the numbers seemed low

but, okay
