Outspent 4-to-1, Republicans still made gains in state legislative elections
Briefly

Republicans continue to control 27 legislatures to Democrats' 17, a trend that highlights their ongoing advantage in statehouse races since 2010, especially with redistricting on the horizon.
Louis Jacobson notes that the Democrats face a structural disadvantage due to more solidly red states than blue, creating a long-term challenge to rebuild their majorities.
Nine states experienced significant control shifts in their legislatures, with the GOP flipping control in key areas like Michigan, altering the political landscape significantly.
The recent election outcomes reflect a mixed bag for both parties, with Democrats making some gains while Republicans successfully defended their positions in several battleground states.
