All State Legislature Results Within

Wow, Nevada Republicans have a nearly 2/3 advantage in the House? I knew they picked it up, but the margin surprises me.

Democrats surrendered in Nevada. It was a Red Wedding in every race.

[Mr.Phips]

Its really amazing that Democrats were able to fall much further at the state legislative level after 2010 and not gaining much back in 2012.  I know they had further to fall in Arkansas and West Virginia, and of course New Hampshire always provides huge swings, but what happened in states like Nevada is just insane.  Republicans must have won Assembly there seats were Obama got well over 60% to get to 27 seats there.

I almost think the turnout collapse was a conscious plot by Reid to force Sandoval to either sign a bunch of right wing weirdness and lose his moderate image, or veto all the far right bills and lose the 2016 senate primary to an Angle clone.  Too ridiculous, or just cunning enough?

Reid seems sneaky enough to pull that off, but I doubt it.

Surrendering now to live to fight another day doesn't seem like Reid's style -- he is a believer in always winning.

I don't know about that.  He had to be pressured hard into doing Obamacare.  Reid's on Reid's side.

I wonder how much longer Democrats can expect to hold on to the Kentucky House before it too follows the rest of the South in going Republican.

Perhaps in two years, perhaps the chance has now been missed for a while. Depends on the general political atmosphere doesn't it.

[Mr. Illini]

Found on Twitter:

There ought to be more diverse labeling. Illinois is not genuinely divided, as Democrats not only control both houses, but have the supermajority required to override Rauner's vetoes.

The real question is though, how will this affect Ed Milliband?

Legislature Swing map. Red=Dem gain across the entire legislature. Blue= GOP gain across the entire legislature. Green= No net change. Nebraska is black since it's unicameral.

Wow, look at that upper west.

Utah should be red, as the dems held on to all their remaining legislature seats, and picked up a seat in the state house that they lost in 2012. I know its not much, but still.

The reverse (Republicans picking up only 1 State House Seat) was enough to color Hawaii blue. So Utah should indeed be Red.

[Hifly]

Why is virginia coloured red???

[Miles]

^ There was a special State Senate election for an open seat that Democrats held, but I wouldn't consider that a "gain."

[Hifly]

Although it could be coloured blue as Republicans gained Phil Puckett's seat this year.

[Lief 🗽]

Didn't Democrats lose seats in NY?

[user12345]

When making the map I considered vacant seats to be gains. I got all the data from here http://www.ncsl.org/research/elections-and-campaigns/statevote-2014-interactive-map-before-election.aspx
