Under the radar: Republicans now control redistricting in sixteen states

Most of the national spotlight following Tuesday's midterm elections has been on Republicans taking control of the House of Representatives -- but the party may have had an even bigger victory in state legislatures.

Republicans took the majority in at least 14 state legislatures. They now have control of both legislative chambers (akin to house and senates) in 26 states, and control the ability to redistrict in 16.

In New Hampshire alone, Republicans picked up 120 seats. Both chambers are held by Republicans in North Carolina for the first time since 1870 and in Alabama for the first time since Reconstruction.

1. I've been concerned about that and worried about how many states they'd get
This is not good.
