[OC] Das letzte Mal kontrollierte die Demokratische Partei die bundesstaatlichen Parlamente und das Wahljahr, in dem die Kontrolle verloren ging

The longest unbroken streak the Democrats had was perhaps Arkansas, where they controlled the state legislature after 1874.

Here’s an article from 2010 addressing the losses the Democrats suffered in the South in the midterms: [https://www.politico.com/story/2010/11/democratic-south-finally-falls-045627](https://www.politico.com/story/2010/11/democratic-south-finally-falls-045627)

North Dakota, the unbeatable leader of republicans

Obligatory comment pointing out Nebraska has a nonpartisan unicameral state legislature. There are obviously R and D candidates but the ballots only list them by district with no party affiliation.

I used to live in Montana. Just wild how much more Democratic it is than surrounding states.

Nevada is so weird with it being a swing state but in the state elections it goes so heavily democratic as well as having 2 women democratic senators.
