Democrats have largely ceded control of state governments towards the GOP, allowing them to rig our political program and undermine democracy itself.

Following the 2016 election, Republicans had their most significant majority in the us since 1928, controlling legislative chambers in thirty-two states and governor offices in thirty-three. They also kept both chambers of Congress and the presidency despite shedding the popular vote. What occurred?
