Statehouse wins put GOP in redistricting driver's seat

The Washington Times reports on how well things went for the GOP at the statehouse level:

Among the more startling results: Republicans captured the Minnesota state Senate for the first time ever, won control of the North Carolina General Assembly for the first time since 1870, and seized control of both houses of the Alabama Legislature for the first time since Reconstruction, according to a survey by the National Conference of State Legislatures.

In Maine and Wisconsin, Republicans scored a trifecta, winning the governorships and both houses of the state legislatures in Augusta and Madison.

The Democrat party continues to show their weakness in the South.
