GOP cements hold on legislatures in battleground states

[HOTAIR] In Texas, North Carolina, Ohio and Georgia, Republican state politicians have either created supermajorities capable of overriding a governor’s veto or whittled down competitive districts so significantly that Republicans’ advantage is virtually impenetrable — leaving voters in narrowly divided states powerless to change the leadership of their legislatures.

Although much of the attention on this year’s redistricting process has focused on gerrymandered congressional maps, the new maps being drafted in state legislatures have been just as distorted.

And statehouses have taken on towering importance: With the federal government gridlocked, these legislatures now serve as the country’s policy laboratory, crafting bills on ~~child sacrifice~~ abortion, guns, voting restrictions and other issues that shape the national political debate.
