Take Heart and Remember Republican Advantages
By James S. Corum

Despite the national focus on the political battles in D.C., the state election results provide very positive news for Republicans. Republicans increased their trifectas (governor and legislature control) to 23 states (24 with Alaska if they ever finish counting). There are twelve states with divided control, and seven of those have Republican majorities in the legislature. Despite the Democrat huge advantage in money and media support, Republicans increased their number in Congress and in statehouses.  This gives the Republicans a deep bench of intelligent, honest, and capable elected representatives at the state and local level.

In the smaller towns and cities that make up the larger part of the 31 Republican states, the people who get elected to office come from the small business and professional class. Men and women elected as mayors, county commissioners and state representatives are known to the voters. They come with a local reputations and records of civic engagement. Once elected they have to deal with real issues and problems: roads, schools, policing, business climate. At the local level average people want good government at an affordable price and they are not shy about telling their politicians about their issues. Any county commissioner or state representative who can’t manage a budget, ignores policing, allows infrastructure to deteriorate or blocks business growth will not survive long in office no matter how ideologically pure he is, or how much campaign money he has. These thousands of elected Republican county commissioners, town councilmen, and state representatives are practical people who deal with real issues. They have to be problem solvers who understand the need to balance the cost of infrastructure and policing with budgets and taxes that don’t undermine business or employment. It’s a tough job and they do it pretty well -- which is why the financial and economic conditions are so much better in Red States than Blue States.

From the article:
"There are twelve states with divided control, and seven of those have Republican majorities in the legislature."

And it will be only a matter of time before the democrat-communist underground election apparatus takes aim at these states as well --- ever refining their techniques and focus to "control" such elections to the point where those states "tip" to the leftist/communist side.
