Who Controls the State Legislatures?
Beware: The currrent powers that be in the Republican Party are very adept at telling the same lie over and over, until people have heard it so much they start believing it is true. A current lie they are circulating is that the Democratic Party is dead. Don't you believe it.
Concern has been expressed as to whether the Democratic Party is still viable in the Legislatures of the various States. I am pleased to report the Democrats are alive and well at the State level and in fact made gains nationally in last week’s elections. Nebraska has a unicameral (one house only) State Legislature, but in the 49 other States, Republicans controlled both houses in 20 States and the Democrats controllled both in 19, with the other 10 States split one house to each party.

I am surprised, to say the least. Coming from a state where to be a Democrat is to be an oddity or a relic, it is heartening to see that Arizona is different from a significant part of the US.
