Democrats have *flipped* 7 state legislative chambers and 333 seats, adding 6 more trifectas (gov+both chambers)

All I saw on my mainstream news app was “GOP holds Senate, GOP governors win in three states, Trump says the midterms were great” and nothing like this.

You probably know that the Democrats decisively won the House of Representatives.

Here’s more good news that you’re probably not hearing: Democrats took control from Republicans in New Hampshire,

Colorado,

Minnesota,

Maine, Nevada, New Mexico, Illinois, and New York, and now hold the governor’s seat and both chambers of the legislature in the last six of those states.

This is huge for fixing the huge gerrymandering issues at the state level that have enshrined minority rule by the GOP in all U.S. elections from the presidency on down.
