that was pretty evenly divided to one party rule for many years now. When I tell my students that we used to have a dem party in this state; they don't believe me. OTOH, when the DNC abandoned state parties in the 90's, that didn't help.

I know people who lost their legislative seat to gerrymandering. It is not fantasy.
