The party’s historic victories in 2010 have given it an enduring advantage, thanks to a combination of gerrymandering, incumbency and the nationwide decline in ticket-splitting. “We lost 20 state legislative chambers in one night in 2010 and we’re still working to regain them,” says Jessica Post, president of the Democratic Legislative Campaign Committee.

GOP-controlled state legislatures across the nation have been keeping this company in business.
