When the new year begins, the number of state governments under the control of one party will be higher than it has been in more than half a century.
The New York Times reports:
Though the Nov. 6 election maintained divided government in Washington, the picture is starkly different in capitals from California to Florida: one party will hold the governor’s office and majorities in both legislative chambers in at least 37 states, the largest number in 60 years and a significant jump from even two years ago.
