Eye on Redistricting, G.O.P. Is Primed for Statehouse Gains

The November 2 election anticipates the Republican party winning the majority for both Congress and the State Legislature. The Republican esteem comes from the publics’ response to the continuing economic frustration and the growing national debt. If the Republicans win the majority in the State Legislative it will mean the party will play a major role in the once-a-decade process of redistributing the boundaries of Congressional districts in their favor. On the national level, Republicans have high hopes in winning the majority in Congress. If success at both levels is achieved, then it could mean a major shift in political influence towards the right.
