Statehouse outlook grim for Democrats

GOP gains augur for redistricting

By Joseph Weber

The Washington Times

Republicans were already on track to make major gains this fall in the nation's statehouses — which will play a big role in the post-census redistricting — but an updated forecast by a leading analyst now finds the GOP wave could be even bigger than anticipated.

The new forecast shows Democrats risk losing their majority in 25 state House or Senate chambers, up from 21 in July. Meanwhile, Republicans risk losing — or "have in play" — only one state chamber, down from four in July, forecaster Louis Jacobson wrote this week in Governing magazine. Of the 28 chambers that could change hands this fall, the remaining two appear to be tossups.

"This is a terrible combination for the Democrats," Mr. Jacobson said. "There's a startlingly unprecedented 'lean' toward one party, the GOP." He also called the situation "by far the most lopsided split" he's seen in the past five election cycles.
