US Democrats lose ground in state governments

Republicans will wind up with at least the 59 state legislative chambers they held going into Election Day, but the final tally depends on Arizona where the results are still incomplete

Democrats entered the 2020 US elections looking to roll back much of the commanding presence Republicans had in state governments, but instead wound up losing ground as votes were counted on Wednesday.

Republicans won majorities in both chambers of the New Hampshire State House and took back the Montana governor's mansion, which had been held by a retiring Democrat.

Greg Gianforte's win in Montana over Democrat Mike Cooney gave Republicans 27 of the country's 50 governorships.

Republicans will wind up with at least the 59 state legislative chambers they held going into Election Day, but the final tally depends on Arizona where the results are still incomplete, the National Conference of State Legislatures (NCSL) said.

Democrats, who began with only 39 chambers, jacked up their spending this year on campaigns in eight states, including Arizona, North Carolina, Michigan, Pennsylvania and Texas.

In 35 states, the prize that comes with controlling legislatures is the ability to design congressional districts for partisan advantage, as Republicans did before 2012 when they widened their majority in the US House of Representatives. Here are this year's results for states whose lawmakers draw congressional boundaries, as well as the results of this year's 11 gubernatorial contests, based on data from the NCSL:
