New Hampshire legislature flips from Democrat to Republican
Resist! Not only did all parts of the New Hampshire legislature flip from Democrat to Republican, Republicans saw upset victories in state races in Rhode Island, Vermont, and Maine.
The victories included the defeat of the incumbent Democratic Party state house speaker in Rhode Island, the first time that has happened in more than a century. The same thing happened to the incumbent house speaker in Vermont, where voters ended the Democrats hold on a super-majority.
The Republican victories generally strengthen their power throughout much of New England, a region that for years has been assumed to be a permanent Democratic stronghold. It appears that assumption is no longer valid.

Democrats Likely to Fall Short of Supermajority in NYS Senate
“It looks like Democrats are going to have to wait just a bit longer for a possible supermajority in the New York State Senate.
Right now, Republicans are on track to pick up four seats in that chamber. Wednesday Majority Leader Andrea Stewart-Cousins sent out a statement saying Election Day was a tough one for Democrats. The party was hoping to end up with a number of seats that would’ve given them the power to override any vetoes from Governor Cuomo.”
And you keep an eye on the presidential race, its razor thin and there are without doubt blatant examples of corruption, conspiracy and fraud in many states. And coincidently, they are all Democrat dominated states. Who would have thunk?
