Nate Silver's FiveThirtyEight reports "The 2020 election could usher in a
number of new Democratic trifectas on the state level."

Winning back control of state legislative chambers is the single best way
we can fight back against Republican voter suppression and gerrymandering.

state legislative races who could flip state legislatures blue in 2020 and
stop Republican attacks on our democracy.

FiveThirtyEight continues on why states legislatures are so important:

"Single-party control of the governor’s office, state Senate and state
House can enable that party to pass its agenda unencumbered, as Democrats
showed after the 2018 midterms.

Democrats used the six state-government trifectas they gained that year to
pass major liberal legislation like funding full-day kindergarten in
Colorado, raising the minimum wage in Illinois and setting ambitious
renewable-energy goals in New Mexico."

In addition, when Republicans gained control of many state legislatures in
2010, they gerrymandered district boundaries to make it nearly impossible
for Democrats to win control in many states -- even though in many states
Republicans get far fewer votes than Democrats. Then they introduced voter
ID laws and other voter suppression tactics to further cement minority
rule.

But that may be about to change. FiveThirtyEight reports "Now, in 2020,
the balance of power in state governments could finally flip."
