There could be more movement in the 2012 state legislative elections if more challengers face off against incumbents.
We did a "competitiveness study" for the 2010 state legislative elections on Ballotpedia. In a year that shook up the partisan landscape of many state legislatures, the incumbent chose to run for re-election in 4,985 (81.4%) of the 6,125 districts where elections took place.
In 1,295 (26.12%) of those 4,985 districts, the incumbent faced no challenger in the primary or general election.
