Following on my post here, more on the redistricting consequences of Tuesday’s election at Political Wire, Hotline on Call, and Politico.
At Politico, Ben Smith also has links to two monstrous RNC spreadsheets showing partisan control for redistricting purposes, for Congress and the state legislatures.
The difference between the spreadsheets’ bottom line and mine basically reflect different assessments of the photo-finish races:
– The RNC spreadsheet lists the Republicans controlling the Colorado state House (yielding split control overall)
– The RNC spreadsheet lists the Democrats winning the Illinois governor’s race (yielding Dem control overall)
– The RNC spreadsheet lists the Democrats winning the Minnesota governor’s race (yielding split control overall)
– The RNC spreadsheet lists the Republicans controlling the New York state Senate (yielding split control overall)
and with what now looks like a tie in the Oregon state House, that accounts for most of the difference.
