| January 18, 2021: While most of the political attention in 2020 was on the presidential race, there were also 5,875 state legislative seats up for regularly scheduled elections on November 3. As a result of the elections, control of 315 seats flipped from one party to another.[1]
Republicans gained a net 141 seats, Democrats lost a net 133 seats, and independent and third party candidates lost a net eight seats. Other than Hawaii, every state holding state legislative elections saw at least one seat flip parties.[1]
Fifty seats flipped party control in New Hampshire, the most of any state. Forty-nine of those seats flipped to Republicans — 48 from Democrats and one from a Libertarian. One seat flipped from Republican to Democrat. As a result, both chambers of the New Hampshire General Court changed from Democratic to Republican control.[1]
