For those we've lost and those we must save - May the reign of bullies and abusers around the world and at home come to an end. May we be guarded and guided, helped and healed, now more than ever. May democracy, kindness, and justice triumph over hatred, greed, and fascism. May this beautiful blue world heal and thrive. May the thankful heart be ever true.- Richard Bach

GOP failed to flip any statehouse chambers, Democrats flipped four.
Huge letdown election for Republicans in state legislatures:
@Taniel finds GOP picked up just 22 seats nationwide, mostly in places where partisan control was never in question. GOP failed to flip any statehouse chambers, Democrats flipped four.

NY Assembly prepared to vote against seating Brooklyn Republican over residency question
In an extremely rare move, the Democratic-led state Assembly is preparing to vote against seating the Republican winner of an Assembly race in Brooklyn, Lester Chang, because he may not have moved into the borough one year prior to the election as required by law.
Earlier this month, Chang defeated longtime Democratic incumbent Peter Abbate in Southern Brooklyn’s 49th District 52% to 47%.
“He voted last November in Manhattan where he lives,” said Abbate. “And that would give him six days to say he moved, but he didn’t register to vote in King’s County until February of this year.”
By law, Chang would have to have lived in the district for one year. But because of redistricting this year, he only has to have lived in the borough. If his home is in Manhattan, he would not meet the requirement.

Yes, the GOP has moved much more to the right than the Dems have moved left

This is all very obvious. But if you listen to the mainstream press you would be forced to conclude that both sides have become much more extreme. Of course it’s not true.
