The real GOP victory yesterday

[edhopper]

By taking most of the State Houses in a census year the Republicans will now redraw Congressional districts to ensure a majority GOP House while isolating Dems into fewer districts.
They have gained the upper hand for a decade.

as soon as the Dems get the majority in any of the statehouses.

7. Blue state Californians have taken rediscricting away from Democrats

Once again, Democrats try to be "fair" while Republicans don't even pretend to be fair, and so Democrats get their asses kicked.
