California Democrats poised to make historic gains in state Senate, expand control of Legislature

[RandySF]

SACRAMENTO — Buoyed by another blue wave, Democrats are awaiting election results in two races that, if won, could mean historic gains in the state Senate and further pad their supermajority in the California Legislature.
Democrats learned Thursday that they picked up two seats in the Senate that had been held by Republicans. If they prevail in one additional race, the party will have 32 of the 40 seats in the upper house.

That would be the most Democrats in the state Senate since 1883, said Alex Vassar, communications manager at the California State Library. Democrats have never held more than 32 seats, Vassar said.

“Who knew California could be more blue?” said Robin Swanson, a veteran Democratic communications consultant.

Democrats in both houses entered the election with a supermajority and will retain that two-thirds voting threshold, which allows them to pass most legislation without Republican help. But with more blue comes more challenges, Swanson added.

1. Good on California!

2. I love living in a state where repukelikkkans are a small, impotent, disgraced fraction.

Run all their disgraced asses out.

Some day, all governments will be like this.

5. And that's how the US would be if we had fair elections.
