In the general election, Republicans initially gained control of nine legislative chambers: both chambers of the Nevada Legislature (which gave them a trifecta for the first time since 1931), the Minnesota House of Representatives, the New Hampshire House of Representatives, the New Mexico House of Representatives for the first time since 1955, the West Virginia House of Delegates, the Colorado Senate, the Maine Senate, and the New York Senate, which was previously under a Republican-led coalition. This increased the total number of Republican-controlled state houses from 58 to 67. The day after the election, Republicans, who achieved a 17–17 tie in the West Virginia Senate, gained control of that chamber as well thanks to the defection of State Senator Daniel Hall, thus increasing their total gains to ten, for a final total of 68 state houses won.Wilson Reid Party switch gives Republicans control of West Virginia Senate https://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/govbeat/wp/2014/11/05/party-switch-gives-republicans-control-of-west-virginia-senate/ The Washington Post November 5, 2014 November 11, 2014 This allowed Republicans to win control of either chamber of the West Virginia legislature for the first time since 1933. The election left the Republicans in control of the highest amount of state legislatures in the party's history since 1928, and it also left the Democratic Party in control of the smallest number of state legislatures since 1860.https://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/the-fix/wp/2014/11/11/nearly-half-of-americans-now-live-in-states-under-total-gop-control/ Nearly half of Americans will now live in states under total GOP control The Washington Post November 20, 2014http://www.realclearpolitics.com/articles/2014/11/11/the_other_gop_wave_state_legislatures__124626.html The Other GOP Wave: State Legislatures &#124 RealClearPolitics November 20, 2014Pierog Karen Republicans gain big in state legislative elections https://www.reuters.com/article/us-usa-elections-states-idUSKBN0IP2HB20141105 Reuters November 5, 2014 November 6, 2014 This election marks the last time Democrats won control of a state legislative chamber in a deeply Republican state.Phillips Amber November 8, 2016 Democrats are now basically extinct in the South https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/the-fix/wp/2016/11/08/democrats-are-now-basically-extinct-in-the-south/ live https://web.archive.org/web/20230329112205/https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/the-fix/wp/2016/11/08/democrats-are-now-basically-extinct-in-the-south/ March 29, 2023 February 3, 2025 The Washington Post Summary table Regularly scheduled elections were held in 87 of the 99 state legislative chambers in the United States; nationwide, regularly scheduled elections were held for 6,064 of the 7,383 legislative seats. Most legislative chambers held elections for all seats, but some legislative chambers that use staggered elections held elections for only a portion of the total seats in the chamber. The chambers that were not up for election either hold regularly scheduled elections in odd-numbered years, or have four-year terms and hold all regularly scheduled elections in presidential election years. Note that this table only covers regularly scheduled elections; additional special elections took place concurrently with these regularly scheduled elections.
