According to an email update from Ballotpedia, if Brian Kemp does indeed win the Georgia gubernatorial race, there will be 37 state-government trifectas (or single party control of the governorship, state Senate and state House). Republicans will control 23 state governments, while Democrats will control 14. And an amazing stat from the National Conference of State Legislatures: Only one state legislature is split in control between Democrats and Republicans (i.e., one party holds the Senate, the other party holds the House) — Minnesota. It’s the first time that’s happened since 1914.
