Also their fun Governors page.

R 26 D 24

Strange governors:

D: KS, KY, LA, MT
R: NH, MA, VT, MD

The only predicted change this year is MT, where Bullock is term limited (and running for Senate) which will I guess be an R pick up.

VT, MA, and NH have a long history of electing Republican governors, while KS, KY, LA, and MT have a history of electing Democrats. Going forward, yeah, that could change, making your list, well, strange. The only one that sticks out, based on history, is MD. And that clueless f--khead is voting in Reagan? Good job doing the right thing and leading by example.
 
I understand that a New England Yankee farmer Republican is as different from a frothing, racist typical Nazi Republican as a 50s Dixiecrat was from a typical Democrat.

But I am still very surprised and disappointed by Vermonters in allowing anybody for whom fascism is not a deal breaker near power. I'll give MA a pass for Ma-ssholes (and NH for racist Ma-ssholes who fled The Element). They have brain damage in their native population caused by poor genetics or something. But what's VT's excuse? Or is just that the local Dems have moved beyond the Left Event Horizon?

I don’t have those answers. There’s a ton of posters from Massachusetts on here. I’m assuming Baker governs like a Democrat. Where is he more like a Republican? Fiscal policy?
 
Baker would be a Democrat in probably 35-40 states, but here he'd be plowed over by the progressives. His only chance of winning is to be a moderate Republican, which is approximately what he is.

He seems fairly progressive on social issues (although he doesn't talk much about them), and is moderately conservative on fiscal issues. He's boring as can be - serioously, he has the charisma of cooked pasta, but has that kind of boring competence that I think we'd all pay our left arms for at this point.

270towin has a nice state leg map.

Current breakdown of State Senates is 31 R 19 D.

Polling predicts the Dems pick up 2 (AZ and MN).

Current breakdown of State Houses is 29 R 20 D (NE is unicameral).

Polling predicts the Dems pick up 1 (AZ).

I know Iowa Dems are hoping to retake the house this year. Need to swap 3 seats for a tie, 4 to win. I know there's at least 2 or 3 seats in the greater Des Moines that are big targets to flip. Not sure where others would be.
 
The Alerus Center is the only polling place for all of Grand Forks County...and poll hours are 10-6. It's about an hour drive from the furthest areas.

This is on purpose so the Democrats can win since they don't work obviously.
 
Another law breaking republican

“The office of Iowa Governor Kim Reynolds, a Republican, misused millions of dollars in federal coronavirus relief funding, according to state Auditor Rob Sand. On expenditure includes $21 million spent on the HR/accounting computer system Workday. She also allegedly used $448,449 from the CRF to pay the salaries of her staff members.”

Workday?! Ayfkm?

how on earth is that needed for COVID?

There are elements of Workday that might be useful for contact tracing, managing employees on leave or WFH, and handling return to work planning. But it's still likely a misuse of what those funds were intended for.

We have workday. We don’t use it for CT. We used it once to track special paid furloughs early on. But only because it ran our time off balances But haven’t used it since for the pandemic. And we’ve had it for like five or more years.
