What Went Down On Election Night 2017

I am watching for trifectas (that’s when one party controls both houses of a state’s legislature and its governorship). Coming into tonight, Democrats were in total control of six states. Murphy’s win in New Jersey makes it seven. The GOP is in total control of 26 states. Republicans could have had 27 if Gillespie had won (and they go on to hold onto the House of Delegates). So Republicans will remain at 26. I’m still keeping an eye on Washington state, where there is a special election for a state Senate seat. If the Democratic candidate wins that race, Democrats will be in total control there.
