Washington Post: “Heading into Election Day, Democrats had hoped to pick up a half-dozen or more state legislative chambers to get a foot in the door when many state politicians get to redraw congressional maps next year, lines that will last for the next decade and help determine which party controls Congress.”
“Instead, it’s possible Democrats end up with no new chambers, and it will be Republicans who leave 2020 with wins.”
